For, the chief guest was Union environment minister Jairam Ramesh and the students were staging a silent protest against the Jaitapur nuclear power plant in Maharashtra and the Posco steel project in Orrisa.  While about 30 graduating students boycotted the convocation ceremony, several others wore anti-nuclear Tshirts and badges.
Students of TISS have been very active on the Jaitapur issue and five were also arrested two weeks ago when they participated in a protest yatra from Tarapur to Jaitapur.
