The Times of India: Students, faculty support FTII staff’s demand

Members of the staff association of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), students and faculty all stood in solidarity demanding the resignation of FTII registrar S K Thakur on Saturday. The peaceful protest was held after the registrar failed to clear the arrears of the FTII staff following the sixth pay commission hike in August 2008. “Since September we have been asking the registrar to clear our due4s, but all along we have been given no concrete answer. The registrar kept saying the money hasn’t arrived yet,” said P A Mahajan, president of FTII’s staff association.
