Clear the confusion, please by taking positive action! The response from Mr.Kapil Sibbal to Mr Surendra Prasad, Director, IIT,Delhi seems to be far from ending the controversy. "Sir, we are a little bit confused on faculty reservation. There is mental strain among us about it. We are confused."- (Director,IIT, Delhi)
"Faculty reservation in IITs is a fact. Any attempt to exempt (it) is infructuous," - (Sibal told all the 12 IITs in a programme at IIT Delhi.) If the Minister really means business, he should take action against people misusing their offices sitting in high positions and causing/ attempting to cause infraction of the existing law. That alone will help allay the fears of aspirants (of faculty posts) belonging to the reserved categories.
