    STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
    Practice of pre-examination coaching institutions is flourishing very rapidly in the
    country. These coaching institutions make false claims for guaranteed success in I.I.T. and
    medical entrance examinations. Though the number of candidates is fourteen lakh, the number
    of seats available is only ten thousand. In such a situation, a hefty amount is charged as fee
    from students without any facility of adequate coaching. Due to this, the future of students
    gets jeopardized. Thousands of children become victims of depression once they come to
    know of their result. The struggle for achieving success in cut-throat competition is engulfing
    community sensitivity. It is a fact that the standard of teaching in coaching institutions
    promotes negative thoughts in a student. Also, the philosophy of Do or Die is also entrapping
    the children into mental torture. Roughly, sixteen students commit suicide under pressure of
    examination in the country every year. In the year 2014, forty-five students have committed
    suicide in the country. According to the National Crime Record Bureau, there is 63.3 per cent.
    rise in the number of suicides committed by youth in 2014 in comparison to the number of
    suicides committed in the year 2013. The series of suicides continued in the year 2015.
    According to the Bureau, 40.17 per cent. of the youth who committed suicide were below the
    age of 30 years out of which 17.2 per cent. were girls. Therefore, there is an urgent need to
    enact a law to regulate the functioning of such private coaching centres in the country.
    Hence this Bill.

    FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM
    Clause 3 of the Bill seeks to provide for the constitution of Private Coaching Centre
    Regulatory Board for regulating the functioning of private coaching centres. The Bill, therefore,
    if enacted, would involve expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India. It is estimated
    that a recurring expenditure of about rupees one hundred crore will be involved per annum.
    A non-recurring expenditure of rupees fifty crore is also likely to be involved.

    4
    MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION
    Clause 5 of the Bill empowers the Central Government to make rules for carrying out
    the purposes of the Act. As the rules will relate to matters of detail only, the delegation of
    Legislative Power is of normal character.
