Protest at AIIMS Rishikesh: Students demand stipend, non-mandatory internships, clarity on degree registration
Rishikesh: Allied Health Sciences students at AIIMS, Rishikesh, have been protesting in the institute premises for the last week against non-fulfilment of their demands, including payment of a monthly stipend of ₹13,940 to the students across all six courses during internship and the facility of degree registration.
Recently, agitating against the 'misbehaviour with the media and the attempt to suppress the students' voice', more than 40 students of Allied Health Sciences at AIIMS, Rishikesh, staged a silent protest.
According to PTI report, the silent protest was against the alleged misbehaviour with the media personnel, who had come for the coverage of their ongoing agitation which entered its seventh day. The agitating students alleged that the media personnel were ill-treated and pushed around.
"There has been no action on our demands. We are not being heard. Instead, we are being threatened with termination," said a protesting student.
