Our more concern arises from Point no. 2 of the said policy that states, “[a]ny content maligning NIFT, its policies and employees will be viewed adversely inviting disciplinary action and inter alia, penalties, debarment from sitting the examination, campus placements etc.”

The repeated emphasis given to existing criminal laws in Point no. 7 and 8 may be perceived as a threat of prosecution. This is especially given that the practiced reality of such laws is often arbitrary - where the process itself is the punishment.

We demand that take back decree of NIFT on Fee Hike & Social Media. It's violation of fundamental rights given by constitution. How can any institution do that?
Don't Play with the lives of students!

SFI stands firmly in solidarity with the demands raised by the students of National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) Delhi in reducing the fees for the upcoming academic year.
