Vikas Divyakirti Faces Backlash as MCD Shuts Down Drishti IAS Classes for Violations
In a major action, the MCD has sealed Vikas Divyakirti’s Drishti IAS Coaching Center for operating in an unauthorized basement. This move follows the recent deaths of three students at Rau’s IAS Study Circle, prompting a crackdown on unsafe coaching centers across Delhi.
Delhi: In a significant crackdown following the recent tragedy at Rau’s IAS Study Circle, the Delhi Municipal Corporation (MCD) has sealed Vikas Divyakirti’s Drishti IAS Coaching Center in Nehru Vihar. This action was taken on Monday as part of MCD’s ongoing efforts to address coaching centers violating regulatory rules. Drishti IAS was operating in the basement of Vardhaman Mall, a location deemed unauthorized for such activities.
This enforcement comes in the wake of the death of three students in the basement of Rau’s IAS Study Circle. The students’ deaths highlighted the dangerous conditions of unauthorized basement operations. MCD’s actions are part of a broader campaign to ensure the safety and compliance of educational institutions across the city.
Drishti IAS Coaching Center has been popular among students preparing for civil services, largely due to the association of Vikas Divyakirti. The coaching center conducted classes in 7-8 large halls, accommodating 250-300 students. The sudden sealing of the center left both students and staff unable to retrieve their belongings. The disruption has caused significant inconvenience to the students, who were in the midst of their preparations.
The sealing of Drishti IAS has sparked reactions on social media, with many criticizing Vikas Divyakirti for his lack of support for the students and for operating the coaching center in an unauthorized manner.
One X user commented, “That’s why Vikas Divyakirti is not taking any stand with students. उल्टा चोर कोतवाल को कैसे डांटे?”. Another user named Pramod Kumar Singh remarked, “Meet Vikas Divyakirti, the numero uno of the Civil Services coaching classes. His coaching centre Drishti being run from the basement of Nehru Vihar in North West has been sealed by the MCD. No wonder, he didn’t utter a word on the tragic death of 3 students who were enrolled at Rau’s IAS Study Circle, Old Rajinder Nagar.”

The sealing of Drishti IAS is not an isolated incident. Earlier, the MCD had sealed around 13 other coaching centers, including IAS Gurukul, Chahal Academy, and Plutus Academy, among others. These actions are part of a comprehensive approach to ensure all coaching centers adhere to safety regulations and obtain necessary permissions.
