COMPLAINT AGAINST: CORPORATE COLLAGES AND COACHING CENTERS INCLUDING MEDICAL
AND ENGINEERING COLLAGES UNDER PRIVATE MANAGEMENT
LAST YEAR I WAS LURED BY THE BRAINSTORMING ADVERTISEMENTS OF NARAYANA AND CHAITANYA IIT-CBSE ACADAMIES AND JOINED MY SON BY PAYING Rs.76000/- (SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND ONLY). INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE RECOGNITION FROM CBSE BOARD BUT ON JOINING MY CHILD, I WAS TOLD THAT NONE OF THEIR CAMPUSES EXCEPT THE ONE IN DELHI HAVE ANY RECOGNITION FROM CBSE BOARD. FURTHER, THOUGH MY SON JOINED IN CBSE XI th CLASS OPTING FOR PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, MATHEMATICS, ENGLISH AND COMPUTER APPLICATIONS. BUT STRANGELY, THE NARAYANA COLLEGE HAS NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO TEACH ENGLISH AND COMPUTER APPLICATIONS. FURTHER THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY LABORATORY OR LIBRARY FACILITIES. THE CHILDREN ARE MADE TO ATTEND THE CLASSES FROM 8 AM TO 8 PM AND THEY ARE TAUGHT ALL IRRELEVANT SYLLABUS WHICH DO NOT HELP THEM WITH CBSE XI STD. ON BEING QUESTIONED, I WAS TOLD THAT THOUGH THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY LABORATORY FACILITY OF THEIR OWN AND THEIR COLLAGE IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY CBSE BOARD, THEY HAVE A TIE UP WITH SOME LOCAL RECOGNIZED COLLAGE LIKE BHPV SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL AND KAKATHIYA ACADEMY AND THEY WILL MANAGE THE TC, LAB REPORTS AND ATTENDANCE FROM THOSE COLLAGES AND THEY WILL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR GETTING THE CHILDREN APPEAR FOR EXAMINATIONS FROM THESE COLLAGES, FOR WHICH EACH PARENT HAS TO PAY Rs.5000/- IN ADDITION TO THE HEFTY FEE PAID TO THE COACHING CENTER. I JOINED MY SON WITH FOND HOPE OF BUILDING HIS CAREER BUT NOT TO MAKE A PSYCHIC. UNABLE TO TAKE THE MENTAL STRAIN AND UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE RELEVANCY OF THE TEACHING WITH HIS CBSE-XI STANDARD, HE CONTRACTED PSYCHOSOMATIC DISORDER THEREBY FORCING ME TO WITHDRAW MY STUDENT FROM THE COLLAGE AND BRING HIM BACK TO ORISSA.
BUT, THROUGH THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS AND AGENTS, THESE CORPORATE COACHING CENTERS ARE CHEATING THOUSANDS OF PARENTS AND PLAYING WITH THE LIFE AND FUTURE OF THE ADOLESCENTS. THEY ARE NOT ONLY PLAYING WITH THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN, BUT THEY ARE SEVERELY TRANSGRESSING THE HUMAN RIGHTS BY INFLICTING ALL SORTS OF HUMILIATING AND ABUSIVE PRACTICES AND LOCKING THE CHILD WITHIN THE PREMISES FROM 8 AM TO 8 PM. THOUGH THE ANDHRA PRADESH GOVERNMENT HAS APPOINTED A ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE TO LOOK INTO THE ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY NARAYANA COLLAGE, NOTHING HAS EMERGED SO FAR.
AS A TAX PAYER, I WOULD LIKE TO POSE ONE QUESTION. HOW CAN THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WHETHER THEY ARE SCHOOLS, COLLAGES, MEDICAL OR ENGINEERING INSTITUTIONS, HOW CAN THEY ALLOCATE SUCH A MASSIVE BUDGET FOR ADVERTISING WHILE KEEPING THEM UNDER THE GARB OF NON PROFIT ENTITIES LIKE TRUSTS AND SOCIETIES AND ENJOYING TAX EXEMPTION. IS THERE ANY PROVISION IN THIS COUNTRY FOR A NON PROFITABLE ENTITY LIKE TRUST OR SOCIETY TO ENJOY TAX EXEMPTION AND UTILIZE THIS FOR MASSIVE ADVERTISEMENTS IN ALL MOST ALL MEDIA AND LURING THE CHILDREN AND PARENTS TO PART AWAY THE VALUABLE FUTURE OF THEIR WARDS? WHY NOT OUR BOARD OF DIRECT TAXES INTERVENE AND BRING ALL THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, COLLEGES, MEDICAL, ENGINEERING AND HOSPITALS WHICHEVER ARE RESORTING TO MASSIVE ADVERTISEMENTS AND ENROLLMENT DRIVE SHOULD BE BROUGHT INTO THE AMBIT OF TAXATION. WHY SHOULD THEY ENJOY THE TAX EXEMPTION WHEN THEIR SERVICES ARE NOT WITHIN THE REACH OF POOR AND SOCIALLY EXCLUDED?
PARENTS BEWARE!! BEWARE OF NARAYANA AND CHAITANYA AND SIMILAR COACHING CENTERS OPERATING IN ANDHRA PRADESH. DO NOT GET CARRIED AWAY WITH THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY COMPETENCY TO TEACH THE CHILDREN THE PRESCRIBED CURRICULA. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY LABORATORY OR COMPUTER LAB FACILITIES. THEY DO NOT TEACH LANGUAGES. THEY MERELY CONCENTRATE ON REVISING OLD QUESTION PAPERS OF JEE/IIT ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS WHICH MAY NOT HELP YOUR CHILD IN CASE IF HE FAILS TO OBTAIN GOOD MARKS IN INTERMEDIATE/ 2 EXAMINATION. WHEN THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GOVERNMENT COLLAGES AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS WITH DECADES OF EXPERTISE AND REPUTATION WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN YOUR WARD IN A COACHING CENTER BY PAYING LAKHS OF RUPEES AS FEE AND GETTING HIM APPEARED FOR THE BOARD EXAMINATION AS PRIVATE CANDIDATE? PLEASE THINK. ONLY YOUR AWARENESS AND ASSERTIVENESS CAN ONLY CURTAIL THESE DUBIOUS PRACTICES. PARENTS BEWARE!!
