<br />
'''Vinodini Tarway''' (1931 &ndash; 16 March 2002) was a female [[India]]n academic, born <!--around 70 years before ? --> in the heritage city of [[Gaya, India|Gaya]], [[Bihar]]. She belonged to an affluent [[Mahuri]] [[Vaishya]] family.<br />
<br />
==Early life and education==<br />
She completed her school [[Final examination|finals]] at Kanya Pathasala, the only school in Gaya in the early 1930s and 1940s to provide education to girls. At that time it was not customary for a girl, particularly in a small town like Gaya, to continue education beyond [[high school]] level. However, with the support of her father, Umacharan Tarway, a school teacher turned businessman, Tarway continued her study and obtained a degree from [[Banaras Hindu University]], [[Varanasi]].<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
After her graduation, Terway started as a teacher at her ''[[alma mater]]'', Kanya Pathshala. She continued to pursue studies and obtained a post-graduation degree in [[Political science]] from [[Magadh University]], Gaya. This enabled her to progress to a series of jobs as lecturer and, later, principal at various women's colleges. These included colleges in [[Chaibasa]], [[Ranchi]] and [[Dhanbad]], all located in [[Jharkhand]] state (at that time part of [[Bihar]] state). While working as a lecturer in various colleges, she obtained a [[Doctor of Philosophy|Ph. D.]] in [[Political science]] from [[Patna University]]. A revised version of her thesis, ''East India Company and Russia (1800-1857)'', was published by Chand in 1977.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/11603297?q&versionId=13639679|title=East India Company and Russia, 1800-1857- Catalog entry|website=National library of Australia|access-date=29 May 2018}}</ref><br />

On 22 September 1992, she was appointed first [[Vice Chancellor]] of the [[Vinoba Bhave University]], [[Hazaribagh]] by the [[Governors of Bihar|Governor of Bihar]].<ref name="vbu">{{cite web|url=http://www.vbu.co.in/website/aboutvbu.html|title=About the University|website=Vinoba Bhave University|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120624071812/http://www.vbu.co.in/website/aboutvbu.html|archive-date=24 June 2012|url-status=live|access-date=29 May 2018|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/1090919/jsp/jharkhand/story_11513424.jsp|title=Foundation day at VBU|date=18 September 2009|website=The Telegraph India|access-date=29 May 2018}}</ref> She was the first woman Vice Chancellor of any university in the states of Bihar and Jharkhand.
