The UGC Committee of 1960
pointed out the following
reasons for student
agitations:
(1) Economic causes, like demands for reducing fees,
increasing scholarship,
(2) Demands for changes in existing norms pertaining
to admissions, examinations, and teaching,
Persuasive agitations:
In these agitations, the youth attempt to change the
attitude of the powers that be by discussing their
problems with them across a table and making them
accept their viewpoint. These agitations range from
the relatively trivial issues (postponing the exami-
nations, extending the admission date) to significant
issues (increasing the number of seats) to realty
serious issues (giving representation in academic
bodies, associating students with decision making
processes).
