GUWAHATI, Feb 22 - The students across the four campuses of Tata Institute of Social Sciences � Mumbai, Guwahati, Hyderabad and Tuljapur � have been protesting against privatisation of higher education, since Tuesday.
�There has been a series of demands that the student body has put up in the last eight months. However, in the absence of acknowledgement of the demands from the side of TISS administration, the students have boycotted the classes since February 21. TISS Guwahati students have likewise joined the protest. Today, the protesting students closed down the institution to draw attention to their plight,� a statement from the Students� Council said, adding the students took this step as the administration did not even come out to meet and have a dialogue with them.
