I am pained by the constant humiliation and oppression that is meted out to the Dalit community in the University. I, in my capacity as the Head of the Center, suggested constructive measures to make this campus socially inclusive. I thought there will be measures taken by the University administration to build confidence among Dalits on campus but to my dismay, the things are turning the other way round. I am pained and my conscience does not permit to continue as the Head of the Center at a time when the Dalit community on campus lack the confidence in the administration that should ideally be impartial towards the campus community."
