00:00Why different fees in different centers of coaching institutes?
00:03You will definitely see one or the other coaching hoarding in every street of India.
00:08How much truth is there in them, how do we know?
00:11We are not a blind stick anyway, we have become blind ourselves.
00:14Due to such coaching institutes, the rank and scores of our other children are affected.
00:30One more student committed suicide, a 16-year-old GE student attempted suicide in Kota.
00:50We all think that he must have committed suicide for his steady pressures, but we don't say
00:56anything to the person behind him.
00:58Coaching centers, yes, coaching centers.
01:02In spite of knowing the error in the functionality of these coaching centers, we do not say against anything.
01:08After independence in India, education has become a business.
01:14If education is a donation, then why is it a business?
01:18Why different fees in different centers of coaching institutes?
01:22The classes in these coaching centers have been divided on the basis of the student's
01:26intelligence level.
01:27Brilliant students have been taught by excellent faculties and receive concession in their fees.
01:31Whereas, the average students are taught by average faculties and have to pay higher fees.
01:35Why such discrimination?
01:37When all students have the same goal, then why do they discriminate?
01:41Malpractices have occurred.
01:43In IIT Kanpur, the meeting went on from 7 am to 7.30 pm and only after that it was announced
01:49that the IIT paper was cancelled.
01:51The meeting was due to a paper leak.
01:54Paper leak was leaked in an extra class of a coaching institute.
01:59Due to such coaching institutes, the rank and scores of our other students are affected.
02:04Yet, we don't speak against them.
02:06The coaching centers should be monitored by the government officials.
02:10The coaching centers teach only co-subjects to them.
02:13Whereas, the students have to appear for other languages as well.
02:16Coachings feel that they have prepared them for the entrance test.
02:21But what about their strength?
02:23They should add regional languages to their syllabus.
02:27The coaching centers have unplanned schedules with the students studying for 18 hours a day,
02:327 days a week with no time for leisure.
02:35According to psychology, a student cannot study for 18 hours a day without going into depression,
02:40which can eventually lead him to suicide and feel lonely.
02:44The government should schedule a timetable for the coaching centers.
02:48In January this year, the Union Ministry of Education issued strict guidelines
02:53that institutions cannot issue misleading governments advertisements about guaranteeing ranks and good marks.
02:59Yet, you will find coaching hoardings in every street in India.
03:05We don't know how much truth is in these hoardings.
03:08We are not a blind stick, we have become blind ourselves.
03:11Jai Hind. Thank you.
