Except the land owners of ORN, no one is happy. Students have to pay high rent for shitty rooms. You look to the sky and its covered with multiple kind of tangled wires.
Pusa road might have land rates shooting over 100crs, hence institutes and libraries adopt measures to cut cost.
I wonder what made this place a 'hub' for IAS coaching!
Perhaps institutes should collude and shift to some place else. Making it a planned 'hub'. This sounds too utopian though.
I don’t think institutions are not empathetic. You cannot just blame them because they are charging you some money. They are after all delivering services. The top management definitely are running the institutions with a profit motive. But from my personal interactions, the teachers & mentors were efficient, empathetic and humble unlike our college professors.But the professors don’t earn as much as probably the coaching people make and in India whoever makes money has to be branded a Devil.The real culprit is the administration. Who is the enforcer of rules ? The systematic corruption in the administration is to be blamed. They take bribes, do nothing and then just arrest a SUV driver for the death of our brothers and sisters. Ridiculous!Who is to be blamed for the death of the bright mind who was electrocuted last week ? Who is the real culprit?A culpable homicide case should be registered against the officers who inspected the premises, those who were responsible for enforcing rules and those who took bribes.Overall, I don’t see this as an ORN problem. Indian cities and urbanisation is haphazard. Unless and until we decentralise things, nothing will change. We need big ticket reforms like Social Accountability bill that allows public to launch enquiries against officials.If the officials were efficient, coachings will become efficient too. If there are proper rules and enforcements, even coachings will adhere to set norms and standards. But there is NO ENFORCEMENT at all.I don’t think coaching can do anything except maybe involve the students on a platform and become the AGONY AUNT’s like the Jeetu Bhaiya on Kota factory. They are far powerless than we can imagine. Most might think that administration is in the pockets of these big institutions. Well, I don’t think so. They are equally harassed by the incompetent and corrupt officials.You remember how Vision IAS was raided by IT department for an ideological comment by their teacher.However, the distrust between coaching and students is rising day by day. Slowly and steadily, people are looking at most institutions as part of the GREAT COACHING MAFIA. Transparency and communication is the only way this can be bridged
Big ticket reforms - Do you think those will happen in the near future? After a few days everything will return back to normal. Few arrests, few suspensions and few transfers and wohhooo problem solved.
All these planned urbanization and all are long term solutions, which might perhaps never happen.
