Jaipur: Even after a debate of about four and half hours, the Bill to regulate the coaching centers of Rajasthan could not be passed in the assembly on Monday. The Bill was sent to the select committee of the House as not only the opposition Congress but MLAs of the ruling BJP had objections to the provisions of the Bill.
“The Bill was aimed to provide a suitable academic atmosphere to the lakhs of students coming here from across the country by controlling and regulating the coaching centers which has become an industry now, but as many members have suggested for more deliberations on the provisions of the Bill, I propose to send the Bill to the select committee of the House,” said deputy CM and minister for higher education Dr. Premchand Bairva in the house while replying to the debate in the Bill on Monday.
During the debate the MLAs objected to several provisions of the Bill and expressed their apprehension about corruption and licenseraj.
Senior BJP MLA Kalicharan Saraf said that coaching institutes will leave Rajasthan if the Bill passed in its present form. Thousands of teachers will become unemployed and business worth about Rs 7000 crore will end as the Bill has stringent provisions that will lead to the dominance of bureaucracy over coaching centers.
BJP MLA Gopal Sharma said that the provisions of the central government’s guidelines have not been included in the bill.
Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie said that the bill has no provisions to control the student suicides. It will to lead to the dominance of bureaucracy over coaching centers.

The Bill envisaged the establishment of the Rajasthan Coaching Centers Control and Regulation Authority to oversee the implementation and monitoring of this legislation across the State.
