Rural Institute of Open
Schooling (RIOS) is an NGO documented under the Societies’ Sign up Work in the
Government involving NCT Delhi, 1860 and states to be an okayed board from the Ministry
of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government involving The Indian
subcontinent. RIOS trains non-urban young aspirants and offers them second
education records (10th and 12th) via Open and Distance Learning (ODL) manner.
Lately, our team sources had been undergoing the website involving RIOS
wherever a few inconsistencies had been famous. To begin with, the website
offers a couple most crucial hyperlinks (MHRD and Directly to Information)
throughout non-working situation and subsequently RIOS states to claim
certification from Chhattisgarh State Open School (CGSOS).As per our
information no approval/affiliation about RIOS either on MHRD site or maybe on
Authorities involving Planks involving Secondary Education and learning (COBSE)
site. CGSOS takes it is organization together with RIOS by having a page
although merely so far as executing this exams via Chhattisgarh Board whereas
RIOS is providing its certificates. While pupils are stressed about perhaps the
records are logical or maybe definitely not, they're also concerned about his
or her existence, future and career. They've already a genuine worry that if
non-urban institution education program is usually defaulted by doing this
after that how about additional advancement of computer! Outlying youth that's
incredibly not liable, naive and susceptible anxiously longing for an option
will get captured very easily from the malevolent causes who have tiny related
to education empowerment. Their principal pattern is usually generation
involving prosperity as opposed to imparting expertise.

50 centers of RIOS are running
across the Indian states and every center has paid an amount of INR 8 lakhs* to
RIOS. Thousands of students are enrolled with every center because they are
unaware with the reality of RIOS.
·
NIOS comes under HRD and RIOS
misguides the centers and students by saying that it is equivalent to NIOS and
has got affiliation from Chhattisgarh board and COPSE and indirectly falls
under HRD. But NIOS made it very clear by saying that they have no such
connection with any other board.
·
One of the regional centers of
RIOS filed a complaint against RIOS board at Shakarpur police station, New
Delhi by saying that the board is not affiliated and RIOS accepted the fact and
returned approximately* an amount of INR 10 lakhs. If RIOS is not leading on a
wrong path then why they agreed to return the amount back to the center?
·
We informed education ministry
about RIOS, they said that it is a crime and should be handled by the police. We
informed police headquarters about the deeds of RIOS but no action was taken. Even the government is silent in this matter.
Government and police were trying to hide their face when asked to give a media
byte.

RIOS chairman, Mr. Venkatesh
from Andhra Pradesh, when asked that is he not afraid of government taking
action against him? He replied almost laughing that he has no worry as such
because he has got strong political links as the HRD minister belongs to the
same state (Andhra Pradesh).
Without approval and examination,
RIOS is providing degrees to the students
Yes, this is the hard core reality of RIOS
that without approval and examination they are distributing degrees to the
students. This way they are playing with the future of students and changing
the meaning of the word “Education”. When CMJ University followed the same
pattern Supreme Court black listed the organization, then how come the same
government is protecting RIOS for the same deed?
Now it’s time for the society/parents of
the students to decide that what kind of future they want for their
children-bright or dark?
