ISI Students Protest Proposed Bill, Citing Autonomy Concerns

ISI Students Protest Proposed Bill, Citing Autonomy Concerns

Imagine a special school, the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), that makes its own rules and decides how to run things on its own.

Now, the government wants to change the rules with a new bill.

Students and some teachers are worried because they think this new bill will give the government too much control over the school.

They say the school won't be able to make its own decisions anymore and will become like a regular government office.

The students are protesting because they believe the school's special way of working, which has helped the country for a long time, will be lost.

The government says the new bill is to make the school more modern and run better, but the students disagree and feel their independence is being taken away.
