Gajendra Chauhan finally takes charge as the Chairman of FTII but he would not be able to interfere with the matters of the Academic Council. He would only look into administrative issues. The Academic Council will have 14 members with established names like Raju Hirani as part of it and the Council will decide upon training and academic matters. Gajendra Chauhan will therefore be a mere figure head. The Government decided to come to such a compromise not only to keep its prestige intact but to also placate the protesting students.
