IIM Grads Unite Against Quota
IIM students on Thursday joined ranks with medical students to protest the OBC quota proposal. Unlike AIIMS medicos, who braved tear-gas shells and water canons in New Delhi, the protest by BMA students was unexpectedly sedate. “Very corporate style,” as a passer-by commented.
A group of around 70 students, claiming to represent, 470 students of the institute, walked across the campus holding fliickering candles as a mark of protest and at the end of it they called a customary press conference where journalists were handed out a well-scripted press note. The students steered clear of any controversy and made it known that they did not represent the institute nor each and every student of IIMA. At IIMB, about 300 students participated in candlelight protest. At JIMC the scene was no different. Students marched through the campus with candle lights. Till the last reports came in, even IIMI students were planning a candlelight protest rally.

As far as funds are concerned, we have some reserves, the rest we are expecting from the government. S K Dube, director, IIT Kharagpur For IIT Kharagpur funds were never a problem. We are getting consultancies and sponsorships from alumni to sustain our standard since the government has decided to go ahead with the decision to implement quota. But recruiting the required number of faculty members will take time as the remuneration for professors is well below international standards. Binod K Khaitan, President, Faculty Association, AIIMS There are 236 medical colleges in India. AIIMS is a premier institute. Nothing else except merit should be the criterion for getting a seat at AIIMS. We must open more government-aided medical colleges and bring back the glory to existing medical colleges by increasing their funding and infrastructure. Deepak Pental, Vice Chancellor, Delhi University We need the infrastructure to accommodate the increase in number of students. For this , a proposal has been submitted to University Grants Commission (UGC) that will be forwarded to the Planning Commissions. We will implement Quota in a phased manner over three years. […]
