JAIPUR: For the first time, the Rajasthan police has decided to prepare a database of all the students coming to Kota from other places to ensure their safety and security.
According to sources, details like permanent address, contact number and the name of local guardian will be collected which would help the police in cracking the case if any untoward incident happens. Nearly 80,000 students from all over the country come to Kota every year for preparing for various competitive examinations like IIT-JEE, AIPMT and AIEEE, among others. In the recent past, there have been several incidents in which students from other states were targeted by criminals. Also, ‘non-serious’ students were found indulging in criminal activities.
Recently, IG, Kota, Rajeev Dasot held a meeting of two DySPs and SHOs of Vigyan Nagar, Mahaveer Nagar, Dadabari and Jawahar Nagar police stations under which coaching institutes are located. During the meeting, he directed them to gather details of all the students coming to coaching institutes and hostels from the current session.
Talking to TOI, the IG said that a few local criminals have entered the coaching industry by setting up hostels and mess services and there is a chance that aspirants might fall prey to them. “While generating database, police will also collect details of those who run hostels and mess services in the city. There are several students who are not-so-serious about preparations and have been sent to Kota forcibly by their parents,” he said. “Such students, if found indulging in criminal acts, would be packed off to their native places,” he said.
Besides, senior police officers would visit coaching institutes and interact with students so that they could approach them directly in case of any emergency. Patrolling has also been increased in areas where coaching centres, hostels and messes are located, the IG said.
Recently, soon after two students were caught stealing mobile phones, police started keeping a tab on the activities of suspected students. Those who spend more time outside coaching classes and are involved in non-academic activities are already under police scanner, said an official. Nearly 15 students, who are suspected to be involved in criminal activities to make quick money, have already been identified, he said.
CEO of Career Point, Pramod Maheshwari said that the coaching institutes will welcome the move as it is an effort by the police for the benefit of students. However, police stations are yet to get fully computerized. Therefore, there might be challenges in the effective implementation of the new measures, he said.
