It has been three years when HRD government decided to include ISM Dhanbad in IITs, but students are still waiting for an IIT tag for their institute. Around 1500 institutes have threatened the government to go on indefinite strike from September 2.
Kalpesh Agarwal, one of the students leading the movement said, “A large number of students have left for New Delhi to mobilize support of the MPs. The government had promised to upgrade ISM to an IIT. Chandan Agarwal in Rajya Sabha and Inder Singh Namdhari in Lok Sabha had raised the issue and the government had given us verbal assurances.”
Students took out a protest march in Dhanbad late on Saturday to press for their demand. They will continue their protests in Dhanbad and Delhi simultaneously. A delegation of ISM students met P N Singh, a Lok Sabha MP from Dhanbad and submitted a memorandum seeking his support.
