A section of students at the Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS), Hyderabad campus, have moved the High Court against the institute’s decision to shut down academic activities indefinitely. The shut down was announced amid a hunger strike by these students against fee hike by the institute. Students should be allowed to pay the fee after they receive their scholarship funds. These students come from low-income families and many have to take up loans to pay this fee,” Debarati said. For the GOI-PMS student, the accommodation and food fee is around Rs 83,800 for vegetarian and Rs 87,300 for non-vegetarian students.
