The issue was also discussed in the education committee meeting on November 2018 and the proposal sent to the administration for feedback. Sainath Durg,e member of the education committee has raised the issue in the meeting. He had written a letter to the committee in which he mentioned that most of the students are from economically backward class and face many problems on the home front also. Its automatically affects there mindset.
While BMC agreed with the problems face by the students and need for professional help, there isn't any post of councillors in the BMC. In a written reply to corporator Dr Saida Khan's proposal, BMC commissioner mentioned that students face issues like anxiety, hyperactivity, lack of concentration, lower IQ, the problem with reading and writing. Councillor or psychologist/ psychiatrist can guide students and parents and help with the treatment. Though there isn't single post in the education department for councillor or psychiatrist, the BMC can float Expression of Interest and can appoint NGOs and individuals on a contractual basis as per the decision of education committee. The answer will be tabled in the meeting on Friday, August 30 where it will discuss.
