[Assam] Amarjyoti Choudhury new GU VC(The assam Tribune, 17.09.2006)

[Ram Sarangapani]

Hi Manoj,

This is great choice. I had the opportunity to hear him speak, I think in
1979 or so. Even at that time, he came out someone who had forsight and
excellence.
If anyone can bring GU around, it would certainly be Dr. Choudhury.
