Jagannath University Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Md. Raiqul Uddin took an unusual step by working on a government holiday to address administrative delays. On Saturday, April 11, 2026, he was seen in his office reviewing and signing pending files to reduce the long-standing backlog and improve the pace of official work. The initiative aimed to ensure faster decision-making and greater efficiency in university administration.

Students and administrative staff welcomed the vice-chancellor’s decision, describing it as a positive example of dedication and direct supervision. Dr. Uddin stated that his main goal was to minimize bureaucratic delays, noting that some files had previously remained pending for up to four months. He emphasized that such efforts were necessary to bring momentum to official activities.

Observers within the university believe that the vice-chancellor’s hands-on approach could play a significant role in resolving administrative bottlenecks and improving overall institutional efficiency.
