Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Economic Advisory Council (EAC) to the Prime Minister (PM), announced on Sunday, October 6, that he has accepted the Chancellorship of the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE) in Pune. The development comes 10 days after Bibek Debroy, the chairman of EAC-PM,  resigned from the position on September 27, a day after the Bombay High Court granted interim relief to Vice-Chancellor Ajit Ranade, who had previously been removed from his role, news agency PTI reported.

In a post on the social media platform X, Sanjeev Sanyal stated, “I have accepted the Chancellorship of Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune. I look forward to collaborating with the faculty, staff, and students to build on GIPE's well-established legacy.”
