Some of their demands include complete fee waiver for SC, ST and OBC (GOI-PMS students), immediate implementation of National Commission for Scheduled Tribe recommendations (dated 25/07/18) and to provide mechanism for affordable education to indigenous tribal people and weaker sections of society.

They are staging this protest as there has been a continuous decline in SC, ST and OBC students’ enrollment in TISS due to unsustainable and expensive fee structure across the campus. The protestors also want TISS to be made inclusive, accessible and affordable to the poor and weaker sections of the society.
They have said that the fee structure at TISS is exorbitant and it is systemic discrimination and denying of rights to higher education to the poor and weaker sections of society.
