A group of students from Tata Institute of Social Sciences Mumbai (TISS) including members of Progressive Students Forum—a students’ collective from TISS—are all set to participate in the ‘United Students of India’ march to the Parliament on January 12. So far, as many as 22 students from TISS are joining the protest, with more expected to join today, students said.

Sixteen student organisations (under the United Students of India banner), most of them associated with various constituent parties of the Opposition INDIA bloc, will be taking to the streets of the national capital, marching to the Parliament as part of their protest against the Union government. Their main demand is a withdrawal of the National Education Policy (NEP). The march is considered a move to “sustain momentum” in “strengthening the fight to protect the education and employment sector in India”, protestors from TISS said.
