&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;What is driving the fellowship hike protests across centrally-funded institutions such as the IITs, IISc,NITs or the IISERs?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The last hike for the 1.25 lakh research scholar community was in 2014, that too after a gap of four years. With no hike since then and no communication from the government, scholars across institutions have joined hands to launch a nationwide movement demanding a better stipend. Apart from citing the rising cost, they claim that 60% of these scholars support their families out of this money. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The economic development of a country has a strong correlation with the research and developmental efforts which in turn requires more manpower. To increase manpower in research the stipend given to students should be attractive,&amp;rdquo; said Nikhil Gupta, national representative and coordinator of the movement and a research fellow at the Centre of Biomedical Research, Lucknow. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Barring the research scholars, salaries are increasing in all sectors &amp;ndash; be it private or government, whereas the contribution of the researchers are no less for the society. With inflation and unrevised fellowships for past four years, it has now become a struggle for survival,&amp;rdquo; he added. In the last 20 years the research fellowship has been revised four times. However, the last revision, a hike of 56% was in 2014 under the then minister for human resource development, Smriti Irani.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since October 2014 there has been no announcement on the increase in fellowship which is the major cause of this agitation, said Manoj Chahal, a research scholar at IIT-Kanpur. The protesters since September 2018 have met many officials and have made representations including signed petitions to the MHRD forwarded by directors of respective IITs. On Monday, a fresh petition was made to the MHRD by the protesting scholars. &lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;What is driving the fellowship hike protests across centrally-funded institutions such as the IITs, IISc,NITs or the IISERs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last hike for the 1.25 lakh research scholar community was in 2014, that too after a gap of four years. With no hike since then and no communication from the government, scholars across institutions have joined hands to launch a nationwide movement demanding a better stipend. Apart from citing the rising cost, they claim that 60% of these scholars support their families out of this money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;The economic development of a country has a strong correlation with the research and developmental efforts which in turn requires more manpower. To increase manpower in research the stipend given to students should be attractive,&amp;rdquo; said Nikhil Gupta, national representative and coordinator of the movement and a research fellow at the Centre of Biomedical Research, Lucknow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Barring the research scholars, salaries are increasing in all sectors &amp;ndash; be it private or government, whereas the contribution of the researchers are no less for the society. With inflation and unrevised fellowships for past four years, it has now become a struggle for survival,&amp;rdquo; he added. In the last 20 years the research fellowship has been revised four times. However, the last revision, a hike of 56% was in 2014 under the then minister for human resource development, Smriti Irani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since October 2014 there has been no announcement on the increase in fellowship which is the major cause of this agitation, said Manoj Chahal, a research scholar at IIT-Kanpur. The protesters since September 2018 have met many officials and have made representations including signed petitions to the MHRD forwarded by directors of respective IITs. On Monday, a fresh petition was made to the MHRD by the protesting scholars. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/why-scholars-across-universities-are-protesting/articleshow/67238288.cms?fbclid=IwAR0kUE83mD1NrmNcGWiRlgiAL_3tEkQbPSKoPw78SmJphiyr7aVyyULsLZE&amp;amp;from=mdr&quot; title=&quot;https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/why-scholars-across-universities-are-protesting/articleshow/67238288.cms?fbclid=IwAR0kUE83mD1NrmNcGWiRlgiAL_3tEkQbPSKoPw78SmJphiyr7aVyyULsLZE&amp;amp;from=mdr&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;What is driving the fellowship hike protests across centrally-funded institutions such as the IITs, IISc,NITs or the IISERs?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The last hike for the 1.25 lakh research scholar community was in 2014, that too after a gap of four years. With no hike since then and no communication from the government, scholars across institutions have joined hands to launch a nationwide movement demanding a better stipend. Apart from citing the rising cost, they claim that 60% of these scholars support their families out of this money. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The economic development of a country has a strong correlation with the research and developmental efforts which in turn requires more manpower. To increase manpower in research the stipend given to students should be attractive,&amp;rdquo; said Nikhil Gupta, national representative and coordinator of the movement and a research fellow at the Centre of Biomedical Research, Lucknow. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Barring the research scholars, salaries are increasing in all sectors &amp;ndash; be it private or government, whereas the contribution of the researchers are no less for the society. With inflation and unrevised fellowships for past four years, it has now become a struggle for survival,&amp;rdquo; he added. In the last 20 years the research fellowship has been revised four times. However, the last revision, a hike of 56% was in 2014 under the then minister for human resource development, Smriti Irani.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since October 2014 there has been no announcement on the increase in fellowship which is the major cause of this agitation, said Manoj Chahal, a research scholar at IIT-Kanpur. The protesters since September 2018 have met many officials and have made representations including signed petitions to the MHRD forwarded by directors of respective IITs. On Monday, a fresh petition was made to the MHRD by the protesting scholars. &lt;br /&gt;
