Coaching regulation bill on back-burner
Hindustan Times Rajasthan
|May 06, 2025
The bill to regulate coaching centres has been put on the back-burner by the state government even as 16 student suicides have been reported so far in 2025.
JAIPUR:
The opposition Congress has accused the BJP government of being hand in glove with the coaching institutes and stalling the legislation.
Till April, 15 students who were enrolled in various coaching institutes in Kota have died by suicide, while one died in Jodhpur, revealed police data.
The latest case was reported in Kota on Saturday night in which a 17-year-old student died by suicide just hours before the NEET exam on Sunday.
Kota is India's coaching hub with students from across the country enrolling in institutes to prepare for entrance and competitive exams.
The coaching business is estimated to be worth ₹10,000 crore annually, according to officials in the district administration.
Successive governments have failed to stop student suicides in Kota despite measures such as counselling, yoga sessions, week offs, excursions and relaxation sessions.
