Want Centre to completely reject proposal made by committee
A number of student bodies have strongly condemned the recommendation to scrap reservations in recruitment of faculty in IITs, made by the committee constituted by Ministry of Education (MoE). They urged the Union government to completely reject the panel’s recommendations.
On December 16, The Hindu had carried a report on the MoE panel’s recommendation that faculty quotas be done away with at the IITs. Condemnation also came from Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan of CPI (M), who had previously raised questions about the functioning of the committee, and Manithaneya Makkal Katchi (MMK).

Right-wing supporters have disrupted an online talk by Kisan Sabha leader Vijoo Krishnan on ongoing farmers protests and the contentious farm laws with the programme organiser Ambedkar Periyar Study Circle in IIT-Madras saying that it showed that they were shaken by the agitation.
Krishnan, one of the organisers of the farmers agitation that is rocking the national capital, was invited to speak on Agrarian Crisis and Rising Resistance: Farm Bills 2020 and Their Impacts at 7:30 pm on Wednesday.
As Krishnan was invited to speak and minutes into his lecture, a group of 4-6 people who were attending the online lecture unmuted themselves and started shouting, making others unable to comprehend what the speaker was saying.
