This is a very serious problem and we hear of such cases every single
year. It'd be great if colleges take up starting a writer's forum and
officially helped at least class 12 students to find writers. They
could make it part of courses like Value Education where students are
graded for participating in social causes. Its not that students are
unwilling, they may just be nervous. Hence this coming from their
professors may give them the confidence to volunteer.
A letter going out to all colleges from XRCVC and similar
organisations would go a long way towards this endeavour.
