PIL in Delhi HC; seeks direction for re-framing of guidelines for coaching institutes
Delhi High Court seeking the re-framing of guidelines for coaching institutes, with a particular focus on criminal liability. The PIL calls for stricter regulations and accountability measures to address issues such as fraud, exploitation, and safety concerns within these institutions.
The petition requests the court to mandate that the Centre and Delhi Government establish specific rules and regulations for the operation of paying guest accommodations for students, both in Delhi and nationwide, ensuring that these accommodations are safe, regulated, and suitable for students.
The plea also advocates for the development of an education system focused on the holistic development and refinement of students' minds, rather than solely preparing them for entrance examinations. The objective is to shift the emphasis towards broader educational goals and personal growth.
The plea asserts that the respondents have failed to ensure adequate, safe, and affordable housing facilities for students and young aspirants in Delhi. This neglect has negatively impacted their overall personality development and ability to lead dignified and prosperous lives.
According to the plea, the current education system prioritizes entrance examination success over the holistic refinement of students' minds, resulting in a decline in the quality of education in schools and colleges and an increased reliance on coaching institutes. The plea, filed through Advocate Rudra Vikram Singh, highlights these concerns.
