On the new appointment, Manoj K Arora, professor, vice chancellor, BML Munjal University, said, “We strongly believe his invaluable experience in the education domain and his years of expertise will be crucial in taking the helm of the university to a new direction.”

“Having spent years as a practitioner of institutional development in universities, I have witnessed how higher education institutions are increasingly called upon to renew themselves at a steady and consistent pace to keep discharging their role as thought leaders in development and social transformation. BMU has been a front runner when it comes to their multidisciplinary, entrepreneurial and research propelled programmes and courses.” Menon said. 

“Professor Menon will play a crucial role in ensuring that our vision is in line with our nation’s aspirations for a more evolved education system which is able to cater to the needs of the 21st century.
