Those taking coaching lessons in Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar say they are still haunted by the memory of how three students drowned in the basement of Rau’s IAS Study Circle in July.
Central Consumer Protection Authority's new guidelines aim to protect students, parents from 'exploitative practices'. Institutes also asked to refrain from promising guaranteed placements.
Kota’s journey to becoming India’s most prominent coaching hub began in 1991. The coaching industry here and its related businesses have been valued at approximately Rs 6,000-10,000 cr.
Students & business owners are worried over changes to follow now. Drishti is committed to providing a secure & well-equipped learning environment at Noida, says its deputy CEO.
Students & institute co-founder point to responsibility borne by MCD, other govt agencies & landlords for conditions, say action should be taken against officials.
CBI took over case from Delhi Police following Delhi High Court order. The court had castigated police and Municipal Corporation of Delhi MCD over the students’ deaths.
Poor infrastructure, inadequate drainage systems, and substandard living conditions aren’t confined to Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar and Mukherjee Nagar. It's business as usual in Gautam Nagar and Laxmi Nagar.
The court directed the Central Vigilance Commission to appoint a senior officer to oversee the probe and said it was unable to fathom how the students could not come out.
In a statement, Vikas Divyakirti apologised for his delayed response to the incident & said students’ anger is ‘justified’. However, he also claimed that he is being ‘targeted’.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
