ISI Professors Raise Concerns Over Government Control on Research
The Indian Institute of Science (ISI) professors have expressed concerns that the Union government may exert control over their independent research. The concern stems from a new bill introduced in Parliament, which could potentially impact the autonomy of the institute's faculty. ISI professors fear that this could compromise the independence and integrity of their research. The bill has been introduced to amend the Institute of Indian Science (Amendment) Act, 1950. The amendment aims to make the institute more accountable to the government. ISI professors have expressed concerns about the potential impact on their research and academic freedom.
