I lived in Old Rajendra Nagar for almost 2 years. I was paying almost 25000 for a single room, hence I got a better room. Which means a small but liveable room. The conditions here are worse that can be. 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. Anybody, with even 1/10 of money spent here, can comfortably prepare from their homes (online) or go to a nearby big city to prepare, and get better results.

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.
