Student Grievances Cell (SGC)

I strongly recommend a Student Grievances Cell (SGC) to be established in CSIR - headquarters as well as at the institutional level.

pro: Students can direct their problems efficiently and without fear, in case it is against administration, guide, colleagues, etc.

con: Some students can give misleading/false comments and thereby resulting unpleasant consequences

• Hence a SGC would act a first student-held and student-regulated responsible cut-off for any mischievous act/allegation.

Now, depending upon the Institutional student work force, the SGC can optimize there size. To initiate, Director of the student can nominate subject to conditions like, at least two years of research experience, good reputation as a whole, publication, communication-skill, etc. and followed by annual/biannual polls.

Not to mention, a monthly meeting with the director, COA, AO and scientists, if required as they can be safely excluded, would lead to concrete results. As a single-student-single-authority sometimes take weeks if not months to settle down simple things.

SGC not only would suggest and participate in fruitful dialogues realting to student day-to-day affairs also to finalize/optimize long term issues - let it be canteen(food), security(pass/usage), hostel(innumerable things!!!), etc.

It is easy to understand that a long-list is not possible to present here, but in a nutshell, a SGC can minimize our most of the general grievances.
