Overview
- District-level monitoring committees led by district collectors, including officials from education, health and women and child welfare plus a social worker or child psychologist, will enforce the rules and address complaints.
- Private coaching centres must limit classes to five hours a day, provide a weekly holiday, avoid very early or late sessions, and refrain from holding tests the day after a break.
- Institutions with 100 or more students must appoint a qualified counsellor or psychologist, while smaller institutions must maintain formal referral arrangements with external mental-health professionals.
- All institutions must prominently display Tele-MANAS and suicide-prevention helplines, maintain written emergency referral procedures, and ensure teaching and non-teaching staff receive mental-health training twice a year.
- Coaching centres must create a grievance system within one month, keep test results confidential, avoid performance-based sections, and clearly state that enrolment does not guarantee exam success, as the state moves to begin registering such centres with detailed procedures to follow.
