Govt. is soon going to bring a legislation for better regulation of these institutes.There are philanthropic educational efforts also.Scientia Oeikos, Rahbar and many others try to help poor students. Depth Academy(For IAS,BPSC,MBA,PO,SSC etc.) needs special mention which gives free education to the disadvantaged like Dalits,Dalit Muslims, Dalit Christians and financially challenged students from other communities.The govt. also runs coaching centres for the disadvantaged.
