Today’s CNN-IBN report.
…over a thousand IIT alumni, students, professors and technical staff are protesting against Dow’s attempts to recruit engineers from the IITs..
On October 25, IIT-Madras cancelled pre-placement talks by Dow Chemicals. IIT-Bombay followed suit on October 28.
Dow did not get an invite for placements at IIT-Kharagpur and even their sponsorship for a college festival stands cancelled.
And in IIT Kanpur, students are demanding that the institute refuse Dow sponsorship for a big international seminar in December…
Now, I am not particularly fond of the average IIT graduate. They’re smart, no doubt about that. But brains without a purpose is pointless. Then again, there are times they rise and make a statement. Highlighting an issue like the Bhopal Gas Tragedy being one.
