In a notable leadership transition, the Jonaraja Institute of Genocide and Atrocities Studies has appointed Sunanda Vashisht as its new chairperson, succeeding Titu Ganju, who completed a two-year term.

Vashisht, an esteemed scholar and justice advocate, will maintain her roles as head of the academic council and editor-in-chief of 'Pavak,' the institute's primary publication.
