The Story in Brief
The Haryana Cabinet on Thursday approved the Haryana Private Coaching Institutes (Registration and Regulation) Rules-2026, requiring all existing and new private coaching institutes to register via a designated portal. A fee of Rs 10,000 will be charged, and registration certificates will be valid for three years after scrutiny within 30 days. The rules are framed under the 2024 Act aligned with Union government guidelines.
The Cabinet also approved the Haryana Private Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2026 to set up Masters Union University in Gurugram, a supplement to the Startup Policy 2022 reserving 10% of annual procurement for Haryana startups, and an amendment allowing qualified doctors to set up nursing homes on leased residential plots. Additionally, the World Bank-funded Water Secure Haryana Programme costing Rs 5,714 crore was approved, aimed at addressing groundwater depletion.
The Indian Opinion
A Rs 10,000 registration fee is modest, but the real test is whether the portal works for small-town coaching centres that lack digital fluency. Claims of 'transparency' and 'accountability' sound good, but Haryana's track record on implementing such rules is mixed. Meanwhile, the Cabinet cleared multiple big-ticket items in one meeting, Masters Union University, startup incentives, a water programme. That suggests efficiency, but also raises the risk of inadequate scrutiny. Will the 30-day approval window actually be met, or will it become a bottleneck?
