The Bihar government has announced plans to introduce a new coaching policy following the recent attack and vandalism at educator Khan Sir’s coaching institute in Patna. Bihar Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari said the government intends to regulate coaching institutes more effectively and prevent similar incidents from affecting students and educational institutions in the future.
The announcement comes after violence erupted at Khan Global Studies, popularly known as Khan Sir’s coaching centre, triggering concerns about student safety and rivalry among coaching institutions.
What Happened at Khan Sir’s Coaching Centre?
According to reports, a group of individuals allegedly vandalized the coaching institute, damaged property, and attacked security personnel. CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced, and police have launched a detailed investigation into the matter.
A security guard reportedly sustained injuries during the incident, while students expressed concern over safety at educational institutions in Patna. Following the attack, Khan Sir temporarily suspended coaching operations and appealed for peace.
Khan Sir Alleges Rivalry Behind the Attack
Khan Sir, one of India’s most popular educators and founder of Khan Global Studies, alleged that the incident may have been linked to rivalry among coaching institutes. He claimed that lower fees and increasing student enrollments had created tensions with competing institutions. Authorities, however, have not officially confirmed these allegations and are investigating all possible angles.
The incident has reignited discussions about intense competition within Bihar’s coaching industry, particularly in Patna, which is one of India’s largest coaching hubs.
Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari Announces Regulatory Framework
Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari stated that the Bihar government plans to formulate a new coaching policy within the next three months. The proposed framework aims to bring coaching institutes under greater regulatory oversight and reduce conflicts among educational institutions.
Key Objectives of the Proposed Coaching Policy

According to the minister, the government wants to ensure that students’ education is not disrupted by disputes between coaching operators and that educational institutions function within a regulated framework.
Police Action and Investigation
Authorities have already taken action in connection with the incident. Reports indicate that multiple individuals have been detained, including a person reportedly associated with another coaching institute. Police have registered cases against named and unidentified accused and are examining CCTV footage and other evidence.
The Education Minister also stated that he would personally discuss the matter with senior police officials and ensure a thorough investigation into the attack.
Students Demand Better Security

Students and parents have urged authorities to ensure that educational institutions remain safe spaces for learning and are protected from external conflicts.
Impact on Bihar’s Coaching Industry
Patna is home to thousands of students preparing for competitive examinations, making the coaching sector a significant part of Bihar’s education ecosystem. Experts believe that a well-defined coaching policy could help establish clearer operational standards, improve transparency, and enhance student welfare. The proposed policy is expected to address issues related to institute management, safety protocols, operational standards, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
Final Thought
