PREMIER TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTION ABUSED BY POORLY INFORMED POLITICIANS AND T V MEDIA
When suicides take place, whether in IIT or other institution or elsewhere, it is necessary to investigate the matter and ensure appropriate steps to prevent such incidents.
Apart from IIT Madras, students have also committed suicides in other IITs and schools and colleges all over India . Two days back, a student in IIT, Guwahati too committed suicide.
Unfortunately, the poorly informed politicians and T V media in Tamil Nadu are speaking about such unfortunate incident in IIT, Madras without any sense of responsibility and without awaiting the findings of the enquiry now going on.
For politicians, such incident is a political opportunity and for TV media , it is a business opportunity.
This sort of behavior of the politicians and TV media in Tamil Nadu who seem to think that they have the “wisdom” to talk and comment on any subject is highly objectionable.
behavior of politicians and T V media will certainly demoralize the professors and students in IITs which are institutions of excellence.
It is sad that the government has not condemned the behavior of such politicians and media and teaching faculty and educationists are remaining as mere observers.
