At that time vice chancellor Dr Vilas Sapkal and former pro vice chancellor Dr Gaurishankar Parashar had assured them to consider their demands. One of the main demands of the employees is that their due of Dearness Allowance as per the sixth pay commission should be paid from the general fund.

Since November the varsity administration failed to take a decision on the demand. Irked at this university employees lead by organisation president Satish Holey tried to enter into the office. Owing to safety concerns the doors of the office were closed shut. Holey during the agitation sent out a clear threat to the varsity administration that if the demands were not met within 15 days the protests would be further intensified.
