Students in Chamrajanagar walk 14 KM everyday to schools as village lacks bus connectivity
Mysuru: More than 50 school and college students from Pachedoddi, a remote village near Hanur in Chamarajanagar district, are walking 14 km every day to attend classes due to the absence of bus services and a motorable road. The situation, reported by The New Indian Express, has turned their daily commute into a physically demanding routine.
Students trek 7 km each way to reach educational institutions in Ajjipura, Ramanapura and Hanur. Their route cuts through forested stretches and uneven mud paths that become dangerous during the monsoon. The area falls under the Male Mahadeshwara Wildlife Division, where wild animal movement is common, adding to the students’ risk.
According to the report, the long walk leaves many students exhausted by the time they reach school, affecting their concentration in class. “Our parents brought this issue to the notice of authorities, but in vain. We have now written to the chief minister,” a student told TNIE.
Residents say that ministers, local representatives and officials have visited the village multiple times over the years, promising to address the lack of connectivity. However, the requests for a proper road and regular bus service remain unresolved.
Students have even recorded a video documenting their daily ordeal and posted it on social media in the hope of drawing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s attention. As per the report, the effort has not yet yielded a response.
Despite the challenges, the students of Pachedoddi continue to make the long journey each day in pursuit of their education.
