Sometimes, student organizations call for strike in the campus demanding postponement of the exams, concession of the tuition fees, etc. These activities harm the educational atmosphere and hamper the normal running course of the institutions. Political parties very often call a strike and such other programs which also affect the education sector. Sometimes teachers and their organizations go for movement to bring home their demands by avoiding classes and respective duties.
