Student’s eviction from hostel spurs protest at FTII

Pune | Saturday | 16th February, 2019

Summary:

We tried to redress with the faculty, but they did not listen,” said a member of the FTII Students’ Association (FSA).The inquiry committed was constituted on January 17. It submitted its report at the end of January and the eviction order was passed on February 6. We tried to reverse the order because Srinivas is from a poor background and cannot afford any nearby place to stay. Calls and texts to FTII director Bhupendra Kainthola were unanswered till late on Friday.The panel probed allegations of misbehaviour against Srinivas and Manoj Kumar Verma, another art direction student. But the management did not listen to us,” the FSA member added..
