Resistance agitations
**Main objective is to keep the power holders in their place.
**Many changes intended to be introduce by the authorities
appear to be disturbing to students who feels either their
precious year are being wasted or that legitimate
opportunities are being denied to them or their careers are
going to be adversely affected

Revolutionary
agitations
•These agitations aim at bringing
sudden sweeping changes in the
educational or the social system.
For example: forcing the authorities to
decide that no student will be declared
as failed but will be promoted to higher
class and given the opportunity to
appear in the failed paper till he clears it.

 The response to student violence should never be ‘lathi charge’.
 The inability of the authorities resolve to the grievances and
demands of the students results in the indulgence of the students
in the acts of of violence , strikes and demonstrations.
 Students complain that the tuition fees are very high and their
parents can’t afford to pay such high charges.
 They also criticize badly equipped libraries, improper admission
facilities, overloaded class rooms, lack of vocational education and
bitter teacher-student relationship.
 Students are the foundation of our country’s growth and future.
 Indian education system should address the grievances and
frustrations of the students to end the circle of unrest among
students.
