"Duty of famous teachers to speak on such incidents": Super 30 founder Anand Kumar on Delhi coaching mishap

New Delhi [India], August 1 (ANI): Super 30 founder Anand Kumar addressed the recent controversy following the tragic deaths of three UPSC aspirants in a flooded basement at a coaching centre in Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar and said that it is the duty of famous teachers to come forward and speak on such incidents.
While talking to ANI, Kumar said that one should learn to accept their mistakes and try to correct them.
"As teachers, they should have spoken about the incident earlier and should address the issue now also. When you asked me to come and speak, it was my duty to speak. I'm not against anyone but I want to say this to everyone that if you have made mistakes, then try to correct them. It is not justified to not accept your mistake. Anyone can make a mistake, but one should correct their mistakes and work according to the law," he said.
He also emphasised the importance of self-study and said that instead of taking admissions in the name of famous teachers, the students should focus on self-study.
"I want to send this message to the students that please take admission in any coaching institution carefully. It's not necessary that the teachers who are famous are the only ones who teach nicely. So don't focus on the teacher's name or the results. check their contents. Check which teacher can make you explain things better. Select the teachers with whom you can connect better. Don't rush with the crowd. I would also say to focus more on self-study. Once you master the process of self-study, no one can stop you from being successful," he said.
The Super 30 founder further pointed out that various coaching institutes misrepresent their faculties and urges central and state governments to establish a centre where students' concerns should be addressed.
"There are various coaching institutes that take admission in the name of a few famous teachers who don't even take classes there. Even if the teachers take the class, there are times when students do not understand the context. For all such issues, whether they are related to study or accommodation, a centre should be made up of the central and state governments so that students can share their complaints with them," he said.
