Vet students on hunger strike. Join the Fight for Justice Now and Share Their Story

In the village of Bahuakbarpur, nestled within the vibrant city of Rohtak, a peaceful revolution brews within the walls of the International Institute of Veterinary Education and Research (IIVER). Here, amidst the idyllic countryside, a group of final year students has become the voice of a generation, bravely confronting the injustices that threaten to derail their dreams.

For the past 20 days, these students have stood united, their resolve unyielding as they protest against the recent tuition hikes imposed by Mr. Bhupendra Singh Malik, the college chairman. This hike, estimated to be around 7-8 lacs (up from 2.5 lacs), has sent shockwaves through the student body, exacerbating the financial strain on these students. This increase is a staggering blow to students already struggling to make ends meet in a country where the cost of living continues to rise. For many aspiring veterinarians, this hike places an insurmountable barrier to accessing quality education, perpetuating inequality and stifling their opportunities.
