I am disturbed to see Prof. Suryanarayana Doola being vilified over the recent controversy at IIT Bombay. I know Surya personally. He is one of the finest faculty members I have known in the IIT system, and a gentleman of the highest integrity. Whatever concerns have been raised should be examined fairly. A public campaign against an individual serves no one.

With over 25 years of experience at IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi, here is my take on the entire controversy and also a solution, which I believe we must look into.

The problems we are seeing are all primarily because of the one size fits all approach in IITs.

With students coming through an intensive coaching culture, and classrooms bringing together students whose JEE Advanced ranks range from single digits to five digits (in the same class -for example CSE in IIT Delhi), we now have highly heterogeneous classrooms across the IIT system. Language also further adds to the challenge.

The question to ask therefore is, with such heterogeneity, can we expect every student to learn at the same pace?

There is nothing wrong with opening the doors of our best institutions to students from different backgrounds. The question is whether we have addressed this heterogeneity in our teaching-learning methods.

A faculty member cannot pitch every class at several levels at once. Move too slowly, and some students lose interest. Move too quickly, and others are left behind. In my classes, I have also seen students with excellent JEE Adv ranks struggle. Coaching had prepared them to solve familiar types of questions quickly. Many are lost when they see a question which they haven't solved before.

This is not a difficulty confined to any admission category. The move from coaching to independent learning can be hard for anyone.

Here is a solution.

I feel we should consider moving our https://t.co/KVfDlMnXUZ programmes to five years in IITs. Those who meet the credit requirements could complete it in four years, or perhaps three and a half. Others could spread out their courses over five years and receive more academic help, including recorded lectures, online material and support with language where needed. The pace would be decided by performance within the IIT, not by a student’s admission category or entrance rank.

Calling it a five year programme for everyone has a psychological advantage. Students who need more time would simply be following the programme as designed, while those who are ready could complete it sooner. No one would be singled out for taking a fifth year.

We must uphold academic standards. We must also recognise that students do not all arrive at the same point, or learn at the same pace. Giving them the time and support to meet those standards is a responsibility of the system.

साहिल वकोड़े IIT बॉम्बे के छात्र थे। परीक्षा चल रही थी। पूरा प्रश्नपत्र AI एप्प को अपलोड कर के उत्तर कॉपी में लिख रहे थे। प्रोफेसर ने पकड़ लिया। बाहर ले गए, डाँटा और कहा कि संस्थान के नियम स्पष्ट हैं आप चोरी करते पकड़े गए तो सस्पेंड किए जा सकते हो।

साहिल ने बाद में आत्महत्या कर ली। माँ-बाप ने पोस्टमार्टम के बाद भी शव नहीं लिया क्योंकि उन्हें न्याय चाहिए। न्याय पाने के लिए उन्होंने मोदी एक्ट की धाराएँ लगवा दीं प्रोफेसर पर।

एक लड़का आरक्षण से IIT पहुँचा। कम नंबर न आए, इसलिए चोरी कर रहा था। वह टॉपर बनना चाह रहा था। पर एक मनुवादी शिक्षक ने उसे कॉलेज के कानून बताए, सस्पेंड किया भी नहीं। उसने आत्महत्या कर ली।

क्या एक दलित को फोन ले जाने अनुमति नहीं होनी चाहिए? क्या ऐतिहासिक प्रताड़ना के कारण उसको ओपन मोबाइल परीक्षा देने की अनुमति नहीं होनी चाहिए?

आज एक ब्राइट स्टूडेंट, जो जेट इंजन बना सकता था AI से पूछ कर, हमारे बीच इसलिए नहीं रहा क्योंकि उससे पहले ही चरण में रोक लिया गया। मोदी एक्ट इसीलिए बना ही है।

प्रोफेसर को फाँसी होनी चाहिए।

No minister has come out in support of IIT Bombay professor.

Tells you how much they care about the education system. They can even sell the country for a few votes.

An absolute bunch of shameless people!

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

GC and OBC faculty in colleges should avoid any form of non-public interaction with students. If an interaction is mandatory, such as during viva, wear body cams and record the entire session. Also install CCTV with a mic in your offices.

If the administration doesn't allow body cams, refuse the assignment. At worst, this may lead to disciplinary counseling; however, that remains far better than being falsely accused under the Atrocities Act, which can result in job loss, public humiliation, financial strain, imprisonment, and years of judicial harassment.

Start demanding body cams so that either the request is met or it generates enough awareness to force a public discussion on the misuse of the Atrocities Act.

TEAM BHARAT & I stood up for the IIT BOMBAY professor as he caught a student cheating! This was not a case of caste discrimination!

Hence the case of caste discrimination is unfair.

I have lots of empathy for the child who lost his life. We must help his family.

At the same time one cannot punish an innocent professor on fake charges.

Today my daughter’s school bus took 2 hours to travel just 2 km in Varthur/Gunjur road.

For those 2 hours, I sat there as a parent feeling completely helpless.

I work hard. My wife and I pay lakhs in taxes every month. We took a huge home loan mainly so we could live close to our daughter’s school and give her a safer, easier childhood.

And yet, this is what “2 km from school” means here.

In the last year alone, we have seen a school bus topple, a woman suffer serious injuries after a fall, a biker almost lost his life after falling because of a pothole, and many more incidents that never become headlines.

Every day, ordinary people here tweet, email, complain, follow up and plead with authorities.

We are not activists.
We are not fighting for a political party.
We are parents, employees, families and taxpayers asking for one basic thing:

Please give our children a safe road to come home on.

Today, more than the traffic, what broke me was the feeling that despite doing everything a responsible citizen is supposed to do, I had absolutely no power to protect my own child.

If anyone knows how ordinary citizens of Varthur/Gunjur can reach someone with the authority to actually intervene, please help us.

Speculation and claims that the MDR will be charged on UPI transactions are completely false, baseless, and misleading.

Such baseless and sensation-creating speculations cause needless uncertainty, fear and suspicion among our citizens.

The Government remains fully committed to promoting digital payments via UPI.

[Tukaram Mundhe @Tukaram_IndIAS]

The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.

A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.

A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.

These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.

The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.

A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

The footpath near my society at Koramangala has been broken since years!

I complained to BBMP, sent email to GBA, raised ticket and chatted with their WA helpline but got no response.

Finally, decided to fix it myself.

It costed me Rs. 2700 including labor charges and the cement to build a ramp.

Parents with stroller and senior citizens on wheelchair can use it conveniently now.

This river comes under namami gange programme which has a total budget of 42500 crores with another 3100 crore added in 2026-27

The river is being cleaned by 4 citizens in span of 4 months.

Why are we even paying 1 rupee in tax is beyond my understanding

In Bengaluru, people are becoming conscious of their surroundings.

- at 2 am midnight, a big healthy banyan tree was chopped off
- this was like a heritage for residents
- 2 more trees nearby were cut too
- residents were shocked to see this & came out to protest.

This was at HRBR layout, Kalyan Nagara (at the corner house)

Was GBA informed about this?
Was Forest cell involved in this?
Were the RWA members intimated?
Was this tree cut because the under construction buildings demanded?

If this was done as per law, why was this tree chopped off at mid night?

For 3 decades, nobody had a problem with this tree, infact this tree has given shade to countless people and this is a disastrous way to let the tree go off this way for real estate needs.

[Tukaram Mundhe @Tukaram_IndIAS]

When a label lies, the consumer pays the price.

An expiry date is not just ink on a package.A nutrition label is not just information.They are promises made to the consumer.

When those promises are deliberately manipulated, it is not merely a violation of regulations, it is a breach of public trust.

Effective regulation is not about creating fear in the industry. It is about creating an ecosystem where honest businesses are protected, violations are detected, and citizens are not deceived

The public spoke, and the government listened. This is how democracy should function.

I thank every citizen who turned up at Lalbagh, under the leadership of 91-year-old Yellappa Reddy Sir, to oppose the 5% park diversion law.

I also commend the Chief Minister for respecting public opinion and deciding to withdraw this draconian law.

But the fight is not over.

Until the disastrous Tunnel Road project is officially dropped, neither Lalbagh nor the ancient Peninsular Gneiss Rock is safe.

Today, I argued before the Hon’ble High Court opposing the Tunnel Road project. The Court has directed the Geological Survey of India to place its report before it and fixed the next hearing for September 10.

The government has also amended the Karnataka Tank Conservation Act, reducing the lake buffer zone from 30 metres to just 3 metres to facilitate the Short Tunnel project at Hebbal Lake. This amendment too must be withdrawn.

Our fight to protect Bengaluru’s lakes, parks and green spaces, and for the sustainable development of our city, will continue.

Thank you, Bengaluru, for standing up for your city.

BIGGEST WIN FOR INDIA’S HEALTH REVOLUTION! 🇮🇳

Imagine picking up a Coca-Cola and seeing “HIGH SUGAR” clearly on the front.

Imagine picking up Lays and seeing “HIGH FAT” clearly on the front.

Imagine picking up Maggi and seeing “HIGH SALT” before you decide to buy them.

Now, you don’t need to imagine because FSSAI has proposed warning labels on Indian packaged foods. Companies will be asked to put a “high sugar”, “high salt”, “high fat” sign in a big red font in the front.

A massive thank you to all the doctors and public health experts who have fought for this reform, especially @Moveribfan and @dr_sivaranjani

My message to food companies is very simple. Improve your products before warning labels expose them.

HEALTH REVOLUTION IS HERE!!!

Irrespective of whether you agree or disagree with @ajeetbharti ; it is our duty to stand by him.

We have figured out the govt is 'match fixing' with certain groups who were "allowed to protest;" they did not face FIRs when they beat up Delhi Police, two Union Ministers went on thier knees and made this group a star & then the same group members were "conveniently attacked" in Rajasthan on the very day GC students & youngsters were protesting at Jantar Mantar Delhi to divert attention from the RHA andolan.

Those who did violence againt our cops faced no charges, but Ajeet Bharati has an FIR!

Are we Fools! It is our duty to stand up to this bullying !
