Mandatory counselling system; a centre cannot be registered without one
What the Bill says
A centre may not be registered or continue to operate unless it has adopted a counselling system. It must establish a mechanism for immediate intervention for students in distress, publish the names and availability of psychologists and counsellors to all students and parents, may appoint or hire trained counsellors, and must hold parent sessions on positive parenting and student mental health.
Why it matters
The intent is not in question. The constraint is supply — there are not enough qualified counsellors in Maharashtra for every registered centre to appoint one, and the Bill offers no shared-resource or panel model.
