Days after the death of three UPSC aspirants in Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar due to the flooding of the basement of Rau's IAS Study Circle, Super 30 founder Anand Kumar said that it is the duty of famous teachers to come forward and speak on such incidents. In an interview with news agency ANI, Kumar stated 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 am 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,” Kumar was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. 

Calling the OId Rajinder Nagar incident ‘shocking’, Kumar said that students have now become clients for the coaching centres. He also said that the coaching centres should not rush to earn money.

"It was extremely saddening to hear that three innocent students who had come to Delhi to qualify for the UPSC exam died in the accident. I want to express my deepest condolences and pray to god that their souls rest in peace. Such an issue comes to light when these incidents take place but it is the responsibility of the government to carry out inspections from time to time and I request the coaching institutes to not rush just to earn money," Kumar said.

Anand Kumar also said that 90 per cent of offline coaching centers will disappear in the next 10 to 15 years. “It's my prediction that might be wrong. In the coming 10 to 15 years, 90 per cent of these coaching institutes are going to disappear. I can say this from my experience,” he told news agency ANI. 

Anand Kumar also said that the demands of students should be fulfilled and strict action should be taken against the responsible persons. "Coaching institutes should pay even more than Rs 1 crore as compensation to the students who have lost their lives...State Govt, Central Govt, nearby Coaching institutes should together provide the maximum compensation to the families of the deceased," he said.

Anand Kumar’s remarks came after three civil service aspirants identified as Shreya Yadav of Uttar Pradesh’s Ambedkar Nagar, Tanya Soni from Telangana, and Navin Dalwin from Ernakulam in Kerala lost their lives after the basement of Rau's IAS Study Circle in Old Rajinder Nagar was flooded following heavy rain.
