As many as 6,843 school teachers have been trained to deal with such complaints, Minister of state for Education Fauzia Khan told the Legislative Council.
    
"Government is contemplating appointing a counsellor in every school and a committee would also be formed in this regard," Khan said.
 
Issues like behavioural disorder, hyper activeness have been found and there is a need to study all these aspects, she said.
