Professors of all seven IITs in the country would observe a hunger-strike on September 24 to protest against alleged discrimination in pay-scales.
This was decided at a meeting of the professors held at IIT, Kharagpur, here today, a spokesman of the Faculty Council of the IITs said. Although professors would go on hunger-strike, classes on that day would be held as usual.
The spokesman said the pay-scales had been made in a manner which would destroy the excellent status of the institutes and not attract the best of talent in future.
its shame, the pilots go on strike, now its the turn of IIT/IIM professors, you can imagine whats the level of faculties they are hiring,
the best of the lot never returns to IITs to pursue academics, - iitk btech 97,
