The new vice-chancellor of Sido Kanhu Murmu University in Jharkhand on climbing the academic ladder as a tribal woman and what her appointment means for social justice

It’s rare that the appointment of a university vice-chancellor stirs up much discussion, outside of high-profile, highly politicised environments such as Jawaharlal Nehru University. But it is rarer still to see a woman from a tribal background appointed to such a post. So when in May, Raj Bhavan in Ranchi issued a notification naming Sonajharia Minz to the position of vice-chancellor of the little-known Sido Kanhu Murmu University (SKMU) in Jharkhand’s Dumka district, her name immediately caught the eye of academicians, tribal rights activists, and the intellectual world.

“We have a woman like her who marks the beginning of the representation of tribals in important academic positions. It is a moment for celebration. Her achievement will be helpful in motivating and boosting the confidence of students from backward and marginalised communities to enter the world of education,” says Swapnil Dhanraj, an assistant professor at O.P Jindal Global University in Haryana.
