**Students Protest UGC Curriculum Draft in Thoothukudi, Citing Unscientific Content**
Thoothukudi, India – Members of the Student Federation of India (SFI) staged a protest in Thoothukudi on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025, condemning the University Grants Commission’s (UGC) recently released draft of revised curricula for several subjects.
The protest, which involved the burning of a symbolic draft document, was organized in front of V.O.C. College. Ramkumar, district secretary of the SFI, led the demonstration, which drew a large crowd of student participants.
The SFI alleges the new curriculum draft, which covers subjects including chemistry, anthropology, commerce, economics, geography, home science, mathematics, physical education, and political science, is “unscientific” and seeks to introduce mythological elements into the academic disciplines. The student group is demanding the UGC withdraw the draft immediately.
