Govt must regulate coaching institutes: Kanhaiya Kumar
Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar on Saturday asked the government to regulate various coaching institutes in the country in view of the high cases of student suicides.
He said there is a flood of private coaching institutes providing training for UPSC, medical and engineering exams across the country because the condition of government institutes is not good.
"For the last several days, there are news of coaching institutes claiming to make doctors and engineers disappear after collecting fees from students. Whenever there is such a systemic failure in the country, the government should take responsibility for it," Kumar told a press conference.
He claimed students and common people are being crushed between the government and the market.
Kumar said the government should act in such cases and not indulge in whataboutery.
He also urged the government to strengthen and improve the condition of government institutes in the country.
"Today, the dreams are being sold in the country and there is a flood of coaching institutes, because the condition of the government system is very weak," he alleged.
