Your concerns are absolutely true and on the morning of February 17 2016 surveillance took to new heights. A student named Bhumil Acharya had committed suicide and the administration deleted his emails without a delay and shut down the campus internet to halt the spread of the news. No one was questioned and students sent a request to the Director of IIT Gandhinagar to answer the allegations. The students were spied on and they registered their protest on the unjust elements of the practice.
The institute tried to put up a false image with its pictures expressing students' joy or by highlighting trivial events on social media rather than the fact that they are waving a 'Goebbelsian propaganda' in confluence with the faculty, although it will ultimately prove to be destructive because the truth cannot remain hidden.
