The Supreme Court has directed authorities to close down unregistered coaching centres operating in Jaipur, citing violations of education regulations.
The Supreme Court, acting suo motu, issued an order on Tuesday mandating the immediate closure of illegal coaching centres in Jaipur. The apex court highlighted that many of these institutions operate without the requisite approvals, often charging students exorbitant fees while compromising on quality and safety standards.
The court directed the Rajasthan state education department and local law enforcement to identify and seal such centres within a stipulated timeframe. It also instructed the authorities to ensure that any fees collected from students be refunded and that proper legal action be taken against the operators.
Education officials in Jaipur confirmed that a verification drive is already underway, aiming to differentiate legitimate tuition providers from those flouting regulations. The move is expected to protect students from exploitative practices and reinforce compliance with the country's educational framework.
Legal experts note that the Supreme Court's intervention underscores growing concerns over the proliferation of unregulated coaching hubs, which have become a parallel industry in many Indian cities. The court's order may set a precedent for similar actions in other states.
