Bhardwaj, 40, had immolated herself outside Delhi Secretariat in central Delhi Sep 30.
She had suffered 90 percent burns.
Bhardwaj was sacked from the college in 2009.
Bhardwaj was posted as a lab attendant at Bhim Rao Ambedkar College in east Delhi.

Around 2pm, she arrived at the secretariat demanding action against the college principal.
She then set herself on fire. Passersby and security personnel rushed to her rescue and took her to hospital.
