Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh’s controversial remark on the quality of the faculty members of the IIT and IIM has triggered major row with outraged professors pouring their feeling on cyber net work and in public. The faculty members of the nation’s prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) have also received support from Ramesh own colleague, Minister of State for Science and Technology Ashwani Kumar, as well as the main Opposition BJP. The Congress on the other hand chose to play safe by distancing itself from the acerbic Minister.
