#Unacceptablehike20#Revisehiketo60@IndiaDST The Government's 19.4% fellowship hike is unacceptable! Research scholars are the backbone of India's R & D ecosystem, and they deserve a 60% hike.
Join the Nationwide Institutional Peaceful Protest on June 30th to demand a fair hike. Apart from this, non-NET fellows are also getting 8000Rs/M since 2006 #NonNetFellowshipHike

Dear sir @IndiaDST Secretary,@AjaySoodIISc, and @DrJitendraSingh, we urge you to reconsider the 60% fellowship hike. Our appeal has gone unanswered, leaving researchers with no choice but to go on to the streets and abandon their labs. Join us in the fight for fair fellowships! #JAI-ANUSANDHAN
Though 19% increase is low. But an increase of 6000₹ is a relief to JRFs. Please don't make researchers come out next time. Revise the fellowships yearly
Too late, too less.
Wht our research scholars need is a pay structure that ensures regular increment matching with inflation (like DA), not a random hike in every few years after agitations.
Also, allocation for the running projects shd increase to match the hike.
@kshatresh@ugc_india@IndiaDST How this is relevant to majority of PhD scholar? Working without fellowship is your personal choice not applicable to others.
