Teacher to be relieved of IIUCNN charge
Eleven days after she launched a hunger strike at the entrance of Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, against alleged caste discrimination, the Dalit PhD student on Monday called off her protest.
The decision to call off the protest followed her meeting with a varsity delegation led by Vice Chancellor Sabu Thomas in the evening.
Based on a demand raised by the student, the varsity has agreed to remove Nandakumar Kalarikkal, the accused teacher, completely from holding the charge of its International and Inter-University Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (IIUCNN).
