Barmer students protest fee hike, call out Collector Tina Dabi
Students at MBC Girls College in Barmer sat in protest on Sunday over a sudden exam fee hike by the University of Jodhpur.
They blocked roads and demanded to meet District Collector Tina Dabi—who's also known for her social media presence—calling her a "reel star" during an argument with police.
Why should you care?
Even after university officials promised to roll back the fee hike, students insisted on talking directly with Dabi.
Local admins confirmed the issue was resolved, but Dabi clarified it was between students and the university, not her office.
Police later took some students to the station for talks (not detention), saying a few were just trying to stir things up online.
The incident shows how student voices—and social media—can drive real campus action today.
