00:00Is it enough or we just get awakened when someone dies then we are talking about it

00:05otherwise we wouldn't have even talked about the kind of situation that we have of Delhi streets

00:11It is a classic case of multi-organ failure and there are very many regions

00:15every time we have such untoward incident the media also wakes up

00:19and the government also swings into action

00:22They have their canteens in the basement and it's running in a free flow

00:26There is nobody who is coming and going to you know stop it until and unless someone dies

00:31All those who are responsible must be must be brought to books

00:34as my learned panelists both had legal humanities so to say

00:38I totally agree with them on this point

00:40What is the way ahead? Is it going to continue like this?

00:43Millions and millions of rupees involved

00:45It's a private you know education system

00:48What is it happening in India?

00:50Nobody is bothered about welfare of the students and things

00:54We have all sympathy for these three brilliant students who could be IAS officers in our country

01:00Hello and welcome I am Nagend Singh

01:02and today we are here to discuss one of the big issues that we are seeing in India

01:07and that's about how all these education institutes are working in India

01:13What kind of limitations are there?

01:15Is there corruption involved?

01:17How the death of three students took place in Rajinder Nagar?

01:22Who is responsible?

01:23And if the educationists of India have turned into mafia

01:29Well we are being joined by people from different departments

01:33We have an advocate, we have a retired police officer

01:37We have an educationist as well

01:39I am going to introduce you to everyone

01:41and then we are going to take further this discussion

01:45Who is responsible if Indian educationists are turning into a big mafia

01:52because it's a multi-billion business in India to educate students

01:58Well I have been joined by three of the panelists

02:01I have Alan Rao, he's a former DCP of Special Cell

02:06We have advocate Anubha Srivastav Sahay

02:08She's the president of India White Parents Association and child rights activist

02:14And then we have Mr. Braj Kishore Gupta

02:16He's an educationist and chief mentor gainship

02:21And the name of his organization is Gainstep

02:25Well first of all I'll go to Mr. Alan Rao

02:27Mr. Rao, who is responsible?

02:29What is happening?

02:30Is there corruption involved?

02:32When someone like MCD or the other departments

02:37They give them a place, the basement and everything

02:42We have figured out that there were no appropriate instructions

02:47given by MCD to run that particular place, that particular library

02:52But it was running in the basement

02:54So how does it really work?

02:56Who are the people who give these kind of...

03:02There are no restrictions on the kind of places

03:04that are being used by these big education departments

03:09Yes, this is a very serious incident

03:14which shattered the minds of so many of our Indians

03:18Especially when these three brilliant students were done to death

03:24because of some negligence on the part of...

03:27Not only negligence

03:28This is a case of culpable homicide

03:30not amounting to murder

03:32It is covered under section 105, 106 and 290 of BNC

03:37latest laws on BNC

03:41Offences has been explained in that

03:44Let me apprise of the facts till now

03:49which I have come across

03:50that this premises was being used as a library

03:55and a study room, a study place

03:57for the aspirants of the candidates

04:00who are preparing for IAS and civil services examinations

04:04and that was a basement

04:07If bylaws or building bylaws

04:09we can see that basement cannot be used for this type of purposes

04:12That is very clear

04:13The basement may be used for the purpose of storage some stuffs

04:20and particularly in some cases

04:22that some lawyers and some doctors and architects

04:27There are six categories

04:28They can be allowed to be used basement as their offices also

04:34But in this case, I must tell you

04:36there was some complaint about the sewage

04:39that water was coming into this place

04:42and there was previously a complaint as stated by the students

04:45and that was not looked after

04:48That complaint was not taken care of by anyone

04:51by the concerned officials of MCD

04:53and also there is a requirement of NOC

04:56NOC means no existence certificate by the fire department also

05:02Because the fire department also has to see

05:06if the place which is being used for the study purposes

05:09is worth using that

05:12If there is any fire incident

05:14then is there any escape route

05:16and in the basements also

05:18there is a provision in MCD bylaws

05:21that there should be another exit also

05:24There should be two exits

05:26so that in case of eventuality

05:28that there cannot be a stampede

05:30in that two exits can be used

05:32for evacuating these persons

05:34who have been trapped in any type of tragedy

05:38So this case seems to be the blatant ignorance

05:45or blatant misuse of the building bylaws

05:50and flouting the rules of MCD on these aspects

05:58So investigation is being carried out

06:00the persons I think seven persons

06:02have been arrested till now

06:04and further the investigation is being carried out

06:06and the whosoever is the responsible person

06:08in this case they will not be spared

06:10because this is a very serious

06:12you can say gruesome kind of incident

06:19There were almost 27 students who were there

06:22but when it comes to responsibility

06:25Rao IS they have come up with a statement

06:28but there is nothing more than

06:29the death of three students

06:32Well coming to Anuva Srivastava

06:34she is an advocate

06:36Ms. Srivastava what do you think

06:37what kind of actions are being taken

06:40will someone will really be responsible

06:42or it is just the decision of barring 13 institutes

06:45They have said that they are going

06:47to lock down 13 institutes in Delhi

06:51but is it enough or we just get awakened

06:54when someone dies

06:55then we are talking about it

06:56otherwise we wouldn't have even talked

06:58about the kind of situation

07:00that we have of Delhi streets

07:04Thank you for having me on this show

07:06and actually this is a very serious issue

07:10and as the panelist Mr. Rao also pointed out

07:14that these authorities must be booked

07:16for culpable genocide

07:18and also for criminal negligence

07:21because what has been done by these

07:23I don't know how come such institute

07:25was running in the basement

07:28there might be some other institute also

07:29maybe some in other basement area

07:33they have to they have to

07:36they cannot get permission

07:38how they got the permission

07:39how they got the NOC from fire department

07:41all these things needs to be investigated

07:43and strict action must be taken

07:46taken against not only the institute

07:48coaching institute

07:48but also against the authorities

07:50because they are the main culprits

07:52authorities are the main culprits

07:55who has given permission

07:56to run such institute

07:59coaching institute

08:00which is not allowed

08:01yes definitely you can do

08:03you can store

08:04you can do parking

08:05parking is allowed in basement

08:06storage is allowed

08:07but that also needs requires permission

08:10on what basis they got permission

08:13we have to we must find out

08:14and I would say that a CBI investigation

08:17must be ordered immediately

08:20against the authorities

08:21and the authorities

08:22who who will be

08:25can we say that there is one authority

08:26that is responsible

08:28where does the buck stop on this

08:30see the authorities

08:31or everyone is responsible

08:33not only MCD the fire department

08:36a fire department issues NOC

08:38to each and every building

08:39without NOC you cannot get OC

08:43that is mandatory

08:44how come this building was running

08:46and apart from the fire NOC

08:49they have to conduct inspection

08:51regular inspection

08:53why that was not being done

08:54by the fire department

08:55why that was not being done

08:56by the MCD

08:58why all these authorities were silent

09:00I don't know how many

09:02in how many buildings

09:04like in Mumbai BMC conducts inspection

09:08of all the schools

09:09of all the premises

09:10whether that structure is okay or not

09:13and then they issue notice

09:15I don't know how come in Delhi

09:16such things are not happening

09:17which is the capital of our country

09:19first part is that

09:20Delhi being the capital of our country

09:22has seen such incident

09:23what means situation in other cities

09:25and small towns

09:26don't know

09:27definitely if the government

09:29will not take action

09:30then I don't think these institutes

09:32or maybe other

09:33poaching mafias

09:34or any other business

09:36people who are doing such business

09:38in the premises

09:39using basement

09:40using illegal

09:42doing illegal activities

09:43I would say that

09:44this is an illegal activity

09:46and this must be stopped

09:47so that people in other states

09:50will not do such things

09:52we living in Delhi

09:53or we know about cities like Bombay

09:56it is all in front of us

09:58it is a daily thing which happens

10:01but all these issues become bigger

10:04we can think of the basement

10:05or a library in the basement today

10:07but there are multiple places

10:09they have their

10:11you know they have their cafes

10:13they have their canteens in the basement

10:16and it's running in a free flow

10:17there's nobody who is coming

10:18and going to you know stop it

10:20until and unless someone dies

10:22now let's go back

10:24to the educationist

10:25that we have

10:26Mr. Branj Kishore Gupta

10:28what do you think about

10:29you know what is happening

10:31in these institutes

10:32they charge from 1 lakh

10:34to 3 lakh to 4 lakhs

10:36to prepare you for IAS

10:38but they cannot give you a guarantee

10:41that your child is safe

10:43in that place

10:44where you know children

10:46are being sent for studies

10:47and they're spending hefty money

10:50they are paying hefty money

10:51to all these institutes

10:53without the basic necessities

10:55or the basic infrastructure

10:58thank you

10:58thank you for the for the invitation

11:01two of my learned panelists

11:03have had very legal perspectives

11:06and they're absolutely right

11:07I agree with them

11:08but first of all

11:09my heartfelt condolence goes

11:12for the parents of Sreya, Tanya and Dalvin

11:16it's very unfortunate

11:18that three young lives have been lost

11:22nothing can compensate that

11:24but what I feel

11:26we are more interested

11:27in doing lip service

11:29my focus is to understand

11:31the entire situation

11:33in a holistic perspective

11:34this is a classic case

11:36of multi-organ failure

11:38it is a classic case

11:39of multi-organ failure

11:41and there are very many regions

11:43every time we have

11:44untoward incident

11:45the media also wakes up

11:47and the government also

11:48swings into action

11:50and we have now

11:51a lot of media doing this

11:53but is this different

11:55from what happened in Kota?

11:57that's my question to the media

11:59it is not

12:00this is not one incident

12:01my friend

12:02this has been happening

12:03why does it happen?

12:04if we are

12:06if we are

12:07thinking or trying

12:08to punish the guilty

12:10that is very legitimate

12:11that is in accordance with the law

12:13but you have to go into

12:16the genesis of the matter

12:18who all are responsible

12:19it is not just the law

12:21if you see the credibility of law

12:23IS Coaching Institute

12:25it has done wonders

12:26in terms of producing IS

12:29but here the focus is not

12:32the credibility of the institute

12:34it is something else

12:36it is the security reason

12:38why did the students get locked up?

12:42it was primarily

12:43the failure of the biometrics

12:45number one

12:46number two

12:48as my learned panelist

12:50rightly talked about

12:51an NOC was required

12:52for running that kind of business

12:54that was not meant to be so

12:56and it was not one party

12:58that is to be singled out

13:00so what I feel

13:01we have to see education as a whole

13:04also because today

13:05we are talking

13:06not in terms of GDP

13:07we are talking about HDI

13:09human angle is very very important

13:11what is the fund in quality education

13:14if lives cannot be saved

13:15my friend

13:16government has to wake up here

13:18government has to give priority

13:20to education

13:20and when I say priority to education

13:22it is not just the quality of education

13:24if life cannot be saved

13:26where in lies the significance

13:28and importance of quality education

13:30my friend

13:30so saving life

13:31has to be the top priority

13:33and the government cannot be

13:35exonerated from the blame

13:37all those who are responsible

13:38must be brought to books

13:40as my learned panelists

13:41both are legal luminaries

13:43so to say

13:44I totally agree with them

13:45on this point

13:46but this is a classic case

13:47of multi-organ failure

13:51I stand by that

13:52but in such a scenario

13:54my question is to all three of you

13:56we'll keep it short

13:57one minute

13:59you must have children

14:01you are parents yourself

14:02so in a situation like this

14:05we already know

14:06that parents are spending so much

14:08but what are the things

14:09they are going to see

14:10before sending someone

14:11to a place like Rao IAS

14:13so many big institutions

14:15we are live from Noida sector 62

14:18even in this area

14:19we have multiple institutions

14:22all the IAS institutes are here

14:24but what should a parent think about

14:27in a place like India

14:29where we have no clarity

14:31or we cannot have a

14:33written guarantee

14:34from any of the institutions

14:35that their child is safe

14:36what are they going to think of

14:38before sending their kids

14:39to study to such institutions

14:41which are huge

14:42which are popular

14:44which are one of the best names

14:46in India

14:47if you want to become an IAS

14:49so what should a person

14:51what should a parent think

14:52before sending their kids

14:53to these kind of institutions

14:58my question is to all three of you

15:01see what can I comment

15:03sure sure

15:06as far as the institutes are concerned

15:08coaching institutes

15:12schools and other issues

15:14are separate

15:15but today we are discussing

15:16about coaching institutes

15:17not colleges and schools

15:19so people are facing problems

15:20even in colleges

15:21as far as coaching institutes

15:23are concerned

15:24you can see in the past

15:25four five years

15:26there's mushrooming of

15:28these institutes

15:29in every hook and corner

15:31across India

15:32so we have been demanding

15:33the government since a few years

15:35that bring a legislation

15:36to regulate these coaching

15:38institutes

15:39now the government has come up

15:40with a regulation

15:41and there are certain guidelines

15:43which these institutes

15:44have to follow

15:46otherwise their recognition

15:47will be cancelled

15:49or they will not be able

15:50to run the coaching classes

15:53so that is a good step

15:54no doubt

15:55but again implementation

15:56is a very big challenge

15:59as far as implementation

16:00is concerned

16:01we know the incident

16:02which happened in Delhi

16:04unfortunately

16:05these are students

16:06and the authorities

16:09as far as the NOC

16:11from fire department

16:12is concerned

16:13that was not in place

16:14and how they got NOC

16:16we don't know

16:16so corruption is there

16:17no doubt

16:18so even if the regulation comes

16:21we don't know

16:21whether the regulation

16:23will be implemented

16:24so parents are worried

16:25if we are sending our children

16:27to these institutes

16:28they must give us guarantee

16:29that yes your child is safe

16:31if there is any problem

16:32it's not only about the incident

16:34which happened

16:34if there is any mental problem

16:36the students are facing

16:37like in Kota and all

16:38whether they will be getting

16:39any counselor

16:40but so many things are there

16:42so it's high time

16:42that everybody

16:44should come forward

16:46not only that

16:46the coaching institutes

16:48or the government

16:49or the authorities

16:50every stakeholder

16:52who are involved

16:53must come forward

16:55to bring reform

16:56in education system

16:57in our country

16:58otherwise it is very difficult

17:00to survive

17:01has it become like a mafia?

17:04you think

17:04you think that

17:05it has become like a mafia

17:07operating in a big system

17:09in a legal manner

17:10yes it is like a mafia nowadays

17:13it is like a mafia

17:14that's why regulation is required

17:16now the anti

17:17so many

17:18now the regulation

17:19which has come

17:20definitely again

17:20to regulate coaching institute

17:22which we have been demanding

17:23we accept that

17:24the government must implement it

17:26on ground

17:27that is what we are expecting

17:28and strict action

17:30to demand a strict action

17:31against the authorities

17:32for this incident

17:35i can't discuss

17:36yes yes please

17:37if you want to say

17:38yes yes

17:39that regulation is

17:41by the government

17:42is most welcome

17:43and there are some guidelines

17:44as well as

17:45the standard operating procedure

17:47is also mentioned in that

17:49and i think that

17:50if it is implemented

17:51that is very important

17:53i agree with Balwaji

17:54that the most important part

17:56is that that

17:58how it is implemented

17:59the implementation part

18:01is most important

18:02because laws are there

18:03no doubt in that

18:04but if these are not followed

18:06or these are not implemented

18:07in a real

18:09latent speed

18:10then they are useless

18:12so in this case

18:13if there is any floating

18:14floating from these bylaws

18:15and by sections

18:16or the directions

18:18as prescribed by the government

18:20to run these institutions

18:22then there should be a

18:23strict action against them

18:24they should not be allowed

18:25to run all these things

18:26because definitely

18:27you can say indirectly

18:28that these are the mafias

18:31in the name of education

18:32they are selling the education

18:34because in the

18:35garb of these coaching institutions

18:37they are

18:37in this case also

18:38you can see that

18:41this organization was earning

18:42huge minting

18:43huge money

18:44but they could

18:45they could not

18:46take a space

18:47when the

18:49the students could accommodate

18:51in a very proper environment

18:53not in the basement

18:54but in some other floor

18:56which having a good light

18:58good air

18:58and everything

18:59because if they are being paid heavily

19:01then they should also take care

19:02of the welfare of the students

19:05so that they can

19:07they can learn

19:08so many other things also

19:09but in this case

19:10I think that was apathy

19:12on the part of the institution

19:14and other

19:15civil department

19:16as well as

19:17other authorities

19:18who are responsible

19:18to check all these

19:21irregularities

19:21and they could not

19:22they could not detect it

19:24and not only this

19:25I must tell you

19:26Mr. Nagendraji

19:27there are so many other

19:29institutions

19:30are going on in Delhi

19:31particularly

19:31and not only in Delhi

19:32also

19:33you can see

20:26wind up with you

20:29you have been in education

20:31for so many years

20:34how much of money

20:34is involved in this business

20:36you also know

20:37that how

20:38so many

20:39or so many

20:40educational institutes

20:41these

20:43centers

20:43coaching centers

20:44have erupted

20:45throughout India

20:46in last few years

20:48so where are we heading

20:49where are we heading

20:50as a nation

20:51in terms of education

20:53and

20:53what is the way ahead

20:55is it going to

20:55continue like this

20:56millions and millions

20:57of rupees involved

20:59it's a private

21:00you know

21:00education system

21:01what is it happening in India

21:04let me

21:04let me answer your question

21:05by asking a counter question

21:07why is that happening

21:09my learned

21:10panelists talked about

21:11the irregularities

21:12and corruption

21:13there is no denying that

21:14of course

21:15all that exists there

21:16and that must be checked

21:17I totally agree with them

21:19my point is

21:20why is the need

21:21for mushrooming

21:22of educational institutes

21:24our educational institutions

21:26are failing to cater

21:27to the aspirations

21:28of the students

21:29what is that aspiration

21:30all about

21:31joblessness

21:32these institutions

21:33promise you jobs

21:34and as a parent

21:35I would like my child to

21:37to get job

21:38yes or no

21:38you tell me

21:39so why is that happening

21:41so the question comes

21:42we have to revisit

21:43our education system

21:45what do I mean by that

21:47the curriculum system

21:48the curriculum that we have

21:50has to be restructured

21:52why can't we have

21:53teachers

21:54why can't we have

21:55study materials

21:56for our students

21:58that will prepare them

21:59for competitive exams

22:01like CLAT

22:03like civil services

22:05like engineering

22:06why can't we do that

22:08the problem is

22:09we are focused exclusively

22:11on an event that happens

22:13and we have discussions

22:14and debate on that

22:16and thereafter

22:17everything is forgotten

22:18till an untoward incident occurs

22:20so to conclude my friend

22:22I say

22:23we have to understand

22:24that the strength of India

22:26has always been education

22:28it was not for nothing

22:29that it was said

22:35that is not happening today

22:36we have to revisit

22:37our education system

22:39and in this context

22:40NEP has done a good job

22:41by bringing focus back

22:43on entrepreneurship

22:46on internship

22:49and on creating jobs

22:51but the other aspects

22:53how can we make

22:54our educational system

22:56across the nation

22:58competitive

22:59in terms of preparing

23:00our children

23:02only then

23:03only then can such

23:04mushrooming of educational institutions

23:07be stopped

23:08otherwise we will go on

23:09blaming and blaming

23:10and that will not

23:12resolve the malice

23:15which is eroding

23:16the very fabric of the nation

23:19however it seems

23:21it's a long way to go

23:22when we look at

23:23the number of institutes

23:25that we have

23:26the amount of money

23:27that is involved in it

23:29it seems like

23:30India has a long way to go

23:31if we want to reform

23:33our education system

23:35we know that the governments

23:36have been saying

23:36that they will be reforming

23:38and they are into the process

23:40they have of course reformed

23:42so much of the syllabus

23:44but let's see what

23:45how it goes

23:46in terms of you know

23:47reforming the higher education

23:49which is the demand

23:50of the country

23:51demand of so many youngsters

23:53who are who are jobless

23:56and of course I understand

23:57when you talk about

23:58that it all erupts

23:59from one place

24:00that of course

24:01everybody needs a job
