IISER Pune Addresses Student Demands Amid Ongoing Sit-In Protest
Students at IISER Pune have continued their sit-in protest into its seventh day, following a campus death and the suspension of the student council general secretary. The institute is addressing demands related to mental health support, attendance relaxation, hostel mobility, and protection from disciplinary action. Measures include hiring additional counsellors, exploring on-campus psychiatric services, allowing PhD students hostel mobility, and ensuring no retaliation for peaceful protests. The director remains open to dialogue but cannot overturn the suspension decision.
