TISS Students Greet Ramesh With Anti-Nuke Placards

For, the chief guest was Union environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the students were staging a silent protest against the Jaitapur nuclear power plant in Maharashtra and the Posco steel project in Orrisa.

While about 30 graduating students boycotted the convocation ceremony, several others wore anti-nuclear Tshirts and badges.
