SRFTI's chairman Partha Ghosh told IBNS, "SRFTI is currently facing few problems. Director Debanjan Chakraborty and Registrar Anindya Acharya might decide not to continue their jobs, so they resigned."

According to Ministry of I&B sources, SRFTI's director Debanjan Chakraborty's resignation application has been accepted already.

Amaresh Chakraborty, who is the Dean (Administration) of SRFTI, will hold the post of institute's director, until someone is appointed as a full term director of the institution.
