COACHING THE COCKROACH?

 

During the Nehru to  Manmohan Singh period, India could not be  poised towards a Self-Sufficient  economy  at the top of the economic indices was not because India did not have adequate wealth or resources. Such a leap to stand tall with front ranking nations as a super power required   dynamism in  certain frontiers  both domestically and internationally.  Political power of India was dictated by  irrational political approaches driven only by the greed to cling on to power by any means. Like other democratic nations, India could not have a healthy domestic politics of ideological dialogues, instead tend to act as hostile and antagonistic forces acting on each other. For the same reasons, channels were left open for external forces to intervene and create disturbances and bring about societal insecurity to create impediments in the  forward march towards higher economic goals. No government ever had projected a target for economic growth and self-reliance and the country largely remained backward with minimal areas that could be projected as advanced. When a government asserts the determination to shed off the past and to leap into a planned economic growth to  emerge as a super power within a stipulated time frame, it has to be a cautious step. Ruling Party and its frontal organisations have to be vigilant, sharpen their faculties and create an ambient environment of the entire country shaped into a place of happening.  The country   will have to develop a nationalistic character with main thrust on its own interests. They will have to ensure that   the challenges created by the external forces will not percolate into the societal fabric, it has to be noted by the entire political system that “India “ as such has not invested to position itself in the International Order. Though associated with the National media for over 40 years,  a sick bureaucratic mindset could not steer  a global information flow to the outside world in a dynamic manner. This handicap became visible at the time of Operation Sindhoor. Prominent International News agencies and media turned against India which affected the credible achievements in the operation. The Prime Minister had to send delegations to quite a few influential countries to appraise the real situation.

The economic growth of India can be curtailed only through creating distrust in the government. For a long time , indications pointed towards a massive public unrest in the country. The assertive power of Indian in the control and security of Indian ocean is a being poser before the US and Allied forces. Operation  Sindoor exposed the failures of US air Defence systems and they had to step into a new development process. Several other  strategic factors were pointing towards internal disturbances to ignite distrust  among the decisive segments.

India had to carefully look at the new generation stepping into the electorate count of the country and the affairs related to them , where a probable penetration could be possible,

 A rough assessment leads to a figure  of 2.73 crore children who were born in 2007, by  2012 entered schooling and in 2024  would have appeared in 12th board examinations.  

Only 1.58 crore of the total births in 2007 appeared in the HSSC Examinations, where did the rest of the children vanish?  The infant mortality rate of 55 per 1000 live births if taken  nearly 11. 13 lakh children would have died; Actual  number of children who survived from 2007 births may be 2.61 crore. Nearly 1.03 crore children born in 2007 became unaccounted in the educational system of India ?

The new born who survived would have  attained 18 years in 2025 and naturally should be enrolled as voters. In the  year 2026 elections  2,61 crore new voters at the age of 18 years would have naturally enlisted in  electoral rolls of the country. If the country had a committed government machinery without taxing the people to produce records for Voter ID,  there would have been proper statistical data in the country.

In 2024, nearly 1,2 crores students may have passed the Higher Secondary school Examinations. With the rising number of students rolling out of the Higher Secondary Institutions, the  biggest beneficiary is the Coaching Industry.

With an average size of nearly few lacs of employees and dependents, the Coaching Industry is not an easy structure that can be dismantled. Annual enrolment of students in the  organised and disorganised institutions falls somewhere between I cr0re with an average fee of nearly 1 lac.  The market is expected to grow to nearly a 1.75 lac crore  intermediary raw production centre.  Apart from NEET  and other aspirants in Management, Law  and UPSC  a parallel market of  nearly 5 lakh entrants enrols into the coaching segment.

Entrance Examinations by now have become an undesirable and   unwanted  practice to determine the quality of entrants into various  Professional courses. It was originally devised to give space for students who do not fall into merit list, which later on became misused.  From IAS Coaching Centres, the segment became diversified within the past 45 years. Competition between the institutes led to unhealthy criminal practices, right from the permissions to fingering in the very examination processes.

The Present ruling party has not much stake in the growth of the Coaching  segment.

Scandals arising from undue indulgences in the Entrance Examination Question paper leaks attained public attention in 1997.  Following a question Paper leak, the IIT JEE examinations had to be cancelled. Trivaag Coaching Centre , Lucknow, was found to have colluded with the Printing Press to smuggle the question papers.

Five years later the examination paper leaks surfaced and was not meant to be contained in any way.  in 2002 All India Post Graduate Medical Entrances test,  2006 Class 12 Accountancy question paper of CBSE, in 2007 All India Engineering Examination, again AIEE and Pre Medical Test in 2008, Haryana Board Exam 2011, AIIMS Entrance Exam in 2012,  Higher Secondary Examination of Rajasthan University  followed by state PSC  were badly Hit.

The spate of Question Paper leaks continued. In 2021 Rajasthan Eligibility Entrance Examination  papers were leaked. IN 2023 Bihar Police Constables Selection  Question Papers and 2024 UP Police  Recruitment and Promotion Board also faced identical scandals,

In 2024,the Ministry of Education began to intervene in the sick system of Entrance  Examinations and issued guidelines. Nearly three decades  after the  reports on the organised smuggling of question Papers had surfaced, the crime continues unabated. Every mechanism employed by the government to plug the leakage have been defeated by effectively manipulating  the loose ends, and by   by now, the whole circuitry  became matured and grown beyond imaginable  proportions 

The government has to look back and take cues from the CAB/CAA and the Farmers Agitation.  The faces that appeared in these agitations will have a different story to tell. It was evident that these agitations were platforms for some vested interests to pump their hatred and venom against the government in power.  The outrage was more against the people who voted the present government to power.  Yet, the government could not create a vibrant counter operative measure outside the regime of conventional measures.   The massive investments from the farmers' agitation  were a fight back to bring back the  farm-based lobbies and food market to take back the decision-making powers of electoral politics. To some extent it became successful in reducing the steady growth of BJP. The size and money power of the Coaching Industry cannot be ignored  and therefore, both these two  have to be scaled upon.

The objective of creating a  procurement mechanism along the side lines of the MSP regime of FCI was resisted  by the farmer’s organisations in the most violent manner forcing the Government to rescind from the act.  It cannot be ignored that outside the MSP regime, a strong and powerful market mechanism  controls and regulates the pricing system. Market driven  price hike and food security of the country  has become a number game at the hands of these massive market lobbies. Fate of the elections in the country was dictated by this lobby. By 2010, the corporate lobbies of India became powerful enough to assert their interest with well-coordinated mechanisms to influence the electorate and to set the score over the mandate. Fall of Manmohan Singh government and the irrecoverable damage to the Congress Party was anticipated. The Congress leadership harps on big corporate Houses  of the country for the very same reasons. With the concealed mechanisms of political turnarounds  well known to the Government, it would be a costly affair to put hands on the Coaching Segment without adequate  ground operations.

The question that the Government has to address is whether the  NEET and  HSC Evaluation  defects were the reasons for the  formation of  CJP?  For the second time, from the United States a campaign was unleashed for political destabilisation. India Against Corruption was the first  collective movement directly employing the Indian Diaspora for a shakeup of  the Indian State.  So far , the Narendra Modi Government kept itself free from any major corruption except those which could not be checked and continues despite interventions. Question Paper leaks are such a situation. The Anna Hazare movement was used as a shield to create political instability in the country using the  “internet Platform”.  A massive task force was  aligned and landed in India for a campaign that was decisive in the electoral turn out of Delhi. At that critical point. bringing Narendra Modi to the central stage was an unexpected turn of events, which the perpetrators of weakening India could not imagine. That was also the beginning of the counteractive forces swinging into action.

The Internet has become an integrating mechanism to destabilise and create political uncertainty in India. The government has to think beyond cybercrimes and existing regulatory frameworks including  that of TRAI.   A new form of Terrorism has taken shape that  uses the internet to identify antagonistic forces against the government in power to wage an open war against the existing government and the political system. When usual political campaigns and freebies fail to win elections, the next  stage is demolishing the credibility of the electoral system. When the campaign against the mechanism of election and theft of votes fails, the next mechanism would be to inflict injury  of a massive  proportion to sensationalise the Youth. It is at this point where the government has to  dig further on the operationalisation of the NEET and CBSE issues  read with the campaign of CJP from overseas.  Can the Government rule out the new mechanism of  “stochastic terrorism” ?

The whole set back in India is that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not address the Press and opine on matters like his predecessors. The internet heads in the wait to unleash the new form of terror fails to get the proper signal to unleash a communication  revolt.  This time  the remarks of the Chief Justice of India on certain Youth are like “Cockroaches” was  picked up to form the CJP with a surge of over 20 million hits. It cannot be said to be a communication to do good for the State, instead , it is to be seen as an extension of the  operations of radicalisation  propagated by the fundamentalist Groups and frontal bodies of terror outfits.  

It is the time for the Government to further look into  the volume Youth disappearing in the country every year. The numbers are quite high to  nearly 80% after the Higher Secondary results.

From all the Higher secondary boards of all the states in India in 2025, over 1.305 crore  and in . CBSE board over   16.9 lac students appeared in 2025. Total  Students appearing in the 12th  examinations throughout India is  approximately 1.307 crores.

A total of 1.2768 crores join professional courses – MBBS, BDS, Paramedical, ANM, GNM, BSc Nursing, Engineering, Polytechnics, Management, and Law. In all the universities  of the country nearly 34 lacs sought  admission for general Courses of Graduation in Arts, Science and commerce faculties.  Putting all fragments together , total population total admissions to after 12th to various courses in the country in 2025 would have been 4.2 crore students.

Where did this population surface from?  On an average, India needs to find  placement for an average of 1.8 crore professionals every year.  All India Survey on Higher Education Data  draws back four years.  The Government has to look into the numbers that sink in the layers of the society who do not find any place in the whole educational system. Such a situation breeds a large chunk of crimes and subversive activities.

Our planners have to find answers to certain  questions. Can the country  manage the  population with the present Land Use and Land Management?

What should the basis of futuristic  planning be?

India Should have the Planning system integrated with the projected  growth in the population. Exact adult population that enters in electoral rolls should be corresponding to the decadal population attaining 18 to 22 years after the previous   General elections. If the decadal population of Corresponding periods do not get reflected in the electoral, everything in the country has gone wrong and will go wrong. In a vague approximation , the electorate of India  had to be 120 crores . Nearly 30 crores of people went missing in this country?

What is the actual population of the country?
