The Student Legislative Council resolution from last semester asked the IIT Madras administration to set up a body of outside experts to study the overall mental wellbeing of the students in the institute and on the effectiveness of the existing platforms and mechanisms to tackle all the issues faced by students in the campus. "The said body should include psychologists, mental health experts, sociologists, educationists, faculty of IITM and other professional stakeholders and must look into the pressures faced by students, especially those from marginalised social backgrounds including SC/ST, women, and queer communities. The recommendations of the body should be acted upon.” it said.
After Fathima's death, SLC also called for the setting up of a Complaints and Grievances Redressal Committee in all departments at the earliest.
