History

[edit]
Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute

The SRFTI was established in 1995, and registered as a society on 18 August 1995 under the West Bengal Societies Registration Act, 1961. It is an autonomous society funded by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India.[2] It was named after Indian film director Satyajit Ray.[3] The first session began on 1 September 1996, while Dr. Debasish Majumdar joined as the institute's first director in 1997.[1] On 2 September 2024, upon UGC recommendation, the Institute had received a letter of intent from the Ministry of Education to fulfil the requirements to receive University status.[4]

Allegations of sexual assault and harassment

[edit]

In 2015, several female students claimed they were sexually harassed at the Institute.[5] Three teaching staff were suspended as a result.[5] One student claimed she had been raped.[6]

In 2023, students protested sexual harassment at the Institute.[7]

In 2024, complaints were made that Dean Vipin Vijay had sexually harassed a student and two staff at the Institute.[8] The Institute upheld the complaints and removed Vijay from his position, banning him from the campus.[8] Vijay challenged the process in the High Court of Calcutta, but the court refused to be involved.[9] He was then reinstated as Dean in September 2025, and removed from his position again a few days later following student protests.[8]
