Society must work together for development of government schools: Revenue Minister Krishna Byregowda
Bengaluru: Revenue Minister Krishna Byregowda emphasized the need for collective efforts to enhance the quality of education in government schools. He expressed hope that in the near future, government schools would become the preferred choice even for those currently enrolled in private institutions.
Byregowda made these remarks during the inauguration of a high-tech government senior primary school at Batarayanpur, which features 17 new classrooms, high-quality toilets, and a kitchen built at a cost of Rs 4.5 crore. The project was developed with the support of the CSR fund of Vidyashilp Community Trust and the family of businessman Anand Pai.
Highlighting the importance of providing quality education to all children, Byregowda stated that government school students should receive the same level of education as those in private schools. He noted that several government schools in Batarayanpur have been upgraded using CSR funds, resulting in facilities that surpass those of private institutions. This has led to a notable increase in student enrollment in government schools, he added.
"Another school built on the same model has been dedicated to the public, which is something we can take pride in," said Byregowda, calling for continued efforts to provide quality education and build a better future for children.
Addressing the teachers present, he noted that constructing large buildings alone will not improve schools. "Our work is meaningful only when we provide quality education to children. Teachers have a significant responsibility in this regard," he said. He expressed confidence that the teachers of the newly inaugurated school would contribute to shaping the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.
The event was attended by businessman P. Ravindra Pai, field education officer Ramamurthy, Dr. P. Dayananda Pai, and other family members and dignitaries.

Hezbollah fires over 180 rockets, other projectiles into Israel, wounding at least 7
Beirut, Nov 24: Hezbollah fired at least 185 rockets and other projectiles into Israel on Sunday, wounding seven people in the group's heaviest barrage in several days, in response to deadly Israeli strikes in Beirut while negotiators pressed on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war.
Meanwhile, an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army centre killed one soldier and wounded 18 others on the southwestern coastal road between Tyre and Naqoura, Lebanon's military said. Israel's military expressed regret and said the strike occurred in an area of combat against Hezbollah, adding that its operations are directed solely against the Hezbollah group. The strike was under review.
Israeli strikes have killed over 40 Lebanese troops since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, even as Lebanon's military has largely kept to the sidelines.
Lebanon's caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, condemned the latest strike as an assault on US-led cease-fire efforts, calling it a “direct, bloody message rejecting all efforts and ongoing contacts” to end the war.
