However, some of the students of the University of Hyderabad criticised ISCA for conferring prestigious 'Millennium Plaques Honour' to Podile Apparao. These students have been demanding the removal of VC and his arrest. The students also wrote to the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee seeking justice to Rohit Vemula, a Dalit scholar who committed suicide as Podile Apparao cancelled his fellowship. They requested the President to take action against the Vice-Chancellor. Students demanded that VC must step down from his post and claimed that the academic activities of varsity had been disrupted due to his presence.

Apparao, along with his group of members, exploited the potential of bacteria that is associated with the plant for better plant health. He used Chitin, a polymer to protect plants from various kinds of diseases. He developed a new approach to plant protection, i.e., a non-chemical approach.
