The Indian Institute of Technology IIT Madras has appointed former DGP G. Thilagavathi as student ombuds with effect from November 7.
This move is to maintain a safe environment in the campus and to ensure the wellbeing of the students. Thilagavathi will oversee issues related to student grievances and also look after safety and disciplinary matters.
She will be instrumental in seeing that there is an inclusive atmosphere in the campus and that there is a supportive environment for the academic and personal growth of the students.
The Institute administration will liaise with the student ombuds and see to it that the grievances of students are resolved at the earliest.
