In November 2017, a proposal to dismiss Jawahar Lal Kaul of the Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University was sent by the Ministry of Human Resource Development to the president, Ram Nath Kovind. The HRD ministry, in December 2017, sacked Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal (HNBG) University vice-chancellor Jawahar Lal Kaul for administrative irregularities. Kaul allegedly allowed affiliated colleges to increase their intake in some courses to 200 seats, violating rules that limit the number at 60 and 80 in some cases. He also allegedly decided to make it cheaper than prescribed for colleges to get affiliation with the university.

Kaul is the third central university head — after Sushanta Dattagupta of Visva-Bharati University and Chandra Krishnamurthy of Pondicherry University — to be dismissed by the incumbent government. [5]
