NOIDA: The district inspector of schools (DIoS) on Wednesday issued closure notices to 32 coaching centres that were found operating without registration under the UP Coaching Institutes Regulation Act. The order asked the institutions to close down with immediate effect. The education department had started a drive in March this year, in which it scrutinised some coaching institutes in the district to check the registration details.Since then, several notices have been sent to the institutions that were found to be breaching the rule. In June, the department sent notices to 54 coaching institutes in Noida and Greater Noida, out of which only 20 responded.On November 9, the department formed 12 teams to carry out a survey of coaching centres in Noida and Greater Noida. At that time, 32 establishments were found operating with registration, the majority of them from Sector 62. Several notices have been sent to the institutions, but they have not responded. It is a matter of safety and security for the students. To run any coaching institute, the registration must be done with the district administration, said DIoS Dharamveer Singh.In some of these institutes, over 200 students are enrolled. Officials have advised the owners of such institutes to return the advance fee of students. However, there is no official order on the same. If any institution wants to register themselves, they can still do it. We will continue to conduct such drives, said the DIoS.We also published the following articles recentlyAllen Career Institute acquires DoubtnutTest prep firm Allen Career Institute acquires AI-led doubt solving platform Doubtnut in a deal worth USD 10 million.
