Sir,
I read the news about the suicide by a bright young chap last week.This was shocking to me as I was associated with institute for two years.I feel there should be mentor allocated to students to address various problems of students as student of various background join the institute. It is also bad to the repute of institute.
Also I heard that there was some pressure on a Dalit/SC category student from the department on performance.Even if there is an element of such thing, then it should be highly condemned. This set bad example to society and future generations.
The institute is above all such things and I feel proud being part of the same.
If some students are having such problems then please attend to problems of such students and provide psychological support.
Regards,
An Alumnus

Director at IISc has replied within 5 minutes. His reply was:
“Dear student,
The recent suicide was a most regrettable incident and one for which all of us are deeply grieved. The loss of a young life is irreparable. I must add that there was no academic pressure on the student from the institute.
Nor was there any pressure due to community. These events are personal and hard to rationalise. It would help everyone if there was no attempt to apportion blame to the surroundings.
Best wishes
P.Balaram”

Meanwhile Atrocitynews team interacted with teaching and non-teaching staff atIISC. Prof Bhaskaran informed that the IISC union meeting will take place next week in order to take the stock of the situation and union would see then how to respond to given situation, till that time better wait. He said he would update Atrocitynews soon.
