Today, On 30th September, the Chief Justice of India mandated IIT Dhanbad to admit a Dalit student who missed the fee payment deadline due to financial constraints. The student, from a daily wage worker family, had successfully cleared the entrance exam but couldn’t pay the Rs. 17,500 fee on time, despite efforts to raise the funds.
Today (21st May): TISS seeks dismissal of Dalit PhD student Ramadas K S’s plea against suspension due to alleged misconduct and anti-national activities. Mumbai’s Tata Institute of Social Sciences argued that Ramadas bypassed the internal appeal process and urged the Bombay High Court to revoke the suspension order. The court scheduled the next hearing on June 18.
