Dirty clogged narrow streets, lots of street dogs, lots of hanging wires, etc. Plus everybody here, right from the landlord till Sabjiwala till coaching centres, see students as ATM machines…and try to extract as much money as possible. It’s like organised extortion. The landlord has still not returned my security deposit of 25000 rs. I would never advise anyone to come here to prepare.

[@dishasomvanshi3731]

Old Rajinder nagar fantasised to be the hub of upsc has ended up being an exploitative system. Students with a lot of ambitions end up getting harassed by coachings, landlords & brokers. Around this coaching a great economy surrounds. Rooms rent average are around 20k , additional charges excluding food, garbage electricity , water and many more. There is a developed system of brokerage of 21 days of room rent. And this is the situation of a posh area called Orn . The situation in low elevation areas like Shadipur and Patel Nagar is even worse. This issue needs to get highlighted as it just not sucks the money of students but is a mental Harassment too. Old Rajinder nagar is not at all same as shown in web series “aspirants” . Here landlords aren’t like aluhwalia uncle , he was way too good. It’s high time for people to take action against the entire exploitative system including everyone,. The entire system is included in those deaths and any student of Orn could have been there.

@Aspirants0125 you wish 🤣 we've been landowners of RN since 1947 students have come since 2012 , before then also we had decent rents over here and decent crowd also , uncontrolled amounts of students has deteriorated this area in past decade. And thats a safety hazard for the students also not just owners. IAS bnne aate ho common sense bi nhi hai

Upsc is slowly eating India's future. my humble request to youth to invest your same effort and time in other desired areas instead of rat race , you will get fruitful results. Success rate in upsc is less than 0.1 . Please understand😢😢😢.

[@agiledigitalmarketing]

I think budding IAS aspirants should learn from this and try to tackle the exam from their homes,staying with their parents.If one is self disciplined and motivated it should not be an issue.

The government should make a particular area at outskirts of delhi dedicated to coaching institutes and shift all the coaching Institutes to that area. This will help to decongest delhi and will also provide good living conditions to aspirants.

Govt Need to resolve this Massive Issue where almost every UPSC Aspirants Suffer On Regular basis, Can Govt able to Swift all UPSC Coaching centres Far Away From Delhi, Because in Delhi there is Huge Population Living.

[@prashantsharma3647]

Room rent for students are very high in Delhi. Coaching centre should shift themselves in outskirt NCR area. This way both students and coaching centre can save lacs. This will also help to develop that particular area.

Taxes on every thing even after paid Income Tax 30% . But there is no security for their child, no good roads and no good service. Middle class is a Big bakara.

[@itadoriwaifu7225]

It was the first Time for me to stay in Delhi so we had to look for a Pg in ORN . The broker charged us too much for one small room with double sharing. The Pg managing person charged 11,000 for himself 18,000 for deposit 18,000 for advance payment 10,000 for broker charged (Just for showing a room) I hope the rent thing or pg should drop down. People are getting rich by sucking out the money of middle class family

Even after 70 years of independence, IAS aspirants area is still crying for the basic civic amenities. People are only concerned about the monthly rent for their property.
