IIT Kharagpur Director Partha Pratim Chakrabarti today said there was "no" interference from the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) with the autonomy of the higher education institute.
"There is no interference. We are getting what we want," Chakrabarti told reporters here when asked about the MHRD interference.
When asked about budget cuts, he said they have discussed it with the Ministry and were hopeful of getting more grants.
