According to a report published by Deccan Herald, speaking to reporters after attending the Republic Day celebrations, Bangarappa said the state government had earlier approved the establishment of 500 Karnataka Public Schools, which will offer integrated education from LKG to second PU under one campus.
“However, the government has now given its nod for setting up 900 KPS schools at an estimated cost of ₹3,500 crore. Our aim is to set up many of these schools in the Kalyana Karnataka region. Students at these schools will be provided textbooks and notebooks free of cost,” he said.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
