It is essential that state-funded research scholars and non-NET fellows also receive revised fellowships, with timely disbursement every month. @ugc_india @EduMinOfIndia @PrinSciAdvOff @PMOIndia @narendramodi @MoHFW_INDIA @FinMinIndia

The sorry state of the disbursal of scholarships meant to support students for higher education in the country. --In 2025-2026 academic session, not a single scholarship out of the 10,000 available slots under the National Scholarship for Post Graduate Studies (NSPGS) was disbursed. --Managed by the UGC, the scholarship was introduced 3 years ago, after merging four other scholarships to support higher education of historically-marginalised and high-performing students. Contd news.careers360.com/thousand…

NSP Portal Scholarships: Thousands of slots for SC, ST, OBC, other students vacant

Several scholarships show no disbursal in the last academic year; beneficiaries falling for PM YASASVI, PM USP, DST INSPIRE, AICTE PG. Activists flag delays

#RamanujanFellowship #AgeLimitReform @shivkuma_k Sir gave a technical reply, but @AIRSAIndia demands age reform. Science has no age barriers! We are ready for dialogue, but expect concrete action and accountability. @PrinSciAdvOff @AjaySoodIISc @waghmare16 @thenewsminute

#Why can Indian researchers innovate abroad after 40 but face age barriers under the #RamanujanFellowship in India? Does scientific talent expire at 40? Reform the age limit and ensure career security after 5 years! #AgeLimitReform @shivkuma_k @ANRFIndia @PrinSciAdvOff

Reform the Ramanujan Fellowship age limit! @shivkuma_k @ANRFIndia @PrinSciAdvOff Science has no age barrier. Give experienced Indian researchers opportunities to return, innovate, and secure their future. @NITIAayog @DrJitendraSingh #RamanujanFellowship #AgeLimitReform

#FellowshipRevision2027 is not just a demand. the government should revise fellowships, just like the Pay Commission, to encourage Indian researchers and promote innovation.request scientific leaders not to force researchers onto the streets to raise their voices for rights

#Scientific leadership must be accountable. #Since 2014, fellowship revision and timely disbursement remain unresolved. #FellowshipRevision2027 Even after AIRSA’s 20 Aug 2026 meeting with @AjaySoodIISc we still await a response. @DrJitendraSingh @EduMinOfIndia @FinMinIndia

Delayed fellowships, no regular revision policy, and little accountability—while research scholars struggle for their livelihood. India’s researchers deserve timely fellowships, transparency, and accountability. @DrJitendraSingh @AjaySoodIISc @EduMinOfIndia @FinMinIndia

Scientific leadership must come with accountability. After meeting @PrinSciAdvOff @AjaySoodIISc and submitting our representation, we are still awaiting an official receipt and meeting minutes. Research scholars deserve transparent follow-up. @PrinSciAdvGoI @narendramodi

Indian researchers work day & night in labs, often without fixed hours,timely fellowships, recognition or dignity.Our scientific leaders know these challenges—so why are scholars ignored after they reach positions of power? Science needs accountability. @AjaySoodIISc @waghmare16

A major concern in Indian science is accountability. Researchers seek meetings and answers on genuine issues, yet emails often go unanswered. Even after our meeting with the @PrinSciAdvOff , we are still awaiting an official receipt/record despite follow-ups @AjaySoodIISc

A major drawback in #IndianScience is the lack of accountability. If #Nobel_laureates can respond to researchers, why can’t our scientific leaders? Power must come with accountability. @waghmare16 @DrJitendraSingh @IndiaDST @TheNewspinch @the_hindu @AjaySoodIISc @PMOIndia

#FellowshipRevision2027 Why must research scholars repeatedly demand fellowship revision? It should be automatic and periodic,like Pay Commission revisions. Researchers belong in labs,not on streets demanding basic support.Resolve long-pending issues and ensure accountability

#NonNetFellowship remains stuck at ₹8,000 despite repeated demands and questions raised in Parliament. How long must scholars wait? Must researchers come onto the streets before authorities act? @EduMinOfIndia @PMOIndia @AjaySoodIISc @PrinSciAdvGoI #ReviseNonNetFellowship

Higher authorities & ministries must understand the ground realities of Indian researchers.Lack of accountability and response to scholars’ concerns remains a major issue. @DrJitendraSingh @AjaySoodIISc 🇮🇳Researchers, stay united—one platform, one strong voice!
