With the students of the Guwahati campus of Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) gearing up to renew their fight against the institute in support of the reserved category students, who have been deprived of their Government of India – Post Matric Scholarship (GOI-PMS), those from the Mumbai campus plans to support them by wearing badges with 'injustice' written on them from today. According to students, the protests were put on hold after the institute and government promised to look into the matter. But, unfortunately, they have failed to deliver on their promises.
As part of the Guwahati campus protest, which started on Thursday, students boycotted classes and staged demonstrations on campus with placards in their hands. A statement issued by their students' union, says, "The reason for withdrawing the earlier protest was a notification from the Ministry of Human Resource Development saying that a committee comprising a member of the University Grants Commission, TISS faculty and students from other campuses of the institute would be formed to deal with the matter. Some students have actively communicating with the administration during the past 10 months, asking them to fulfill their promise. The members of the GOI-PMS Students' Association have sent a number of mails to the Mumbai institute director, asking her about the progress in the matter. But there has been no reply."
