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.

New Tehri, Sep 29: A man-eating leopard killed a three-year-old child after picking him up from outside his house here while he was playing with his cousins, with officials saying his mutilated body was found in bushes nearby.
The officials said the incident happened at Purwal village around 5 pm when Ankit Kumar's son Raj Kumar was playing in the courtyard of the house with his maternal uncle's children.
Bhilangana Range Officer of Tehri Forest Division Ashish Nautiyal and Purwal village head Sanjay Tiwari said the child stepped out while playing and went behind the house where a leopard was already sitting in ambush.
The animal picked up the child and dragged him away.
Not finding her son around in the house, Manju Devi started searching for him. Later, her neighbours also gathered there, but the child could not be found.
Meanwhile, somebody noticed blood stains on the road behind the house.
The blood stains led people to the bushes from where the child's mutilated body was recovered, the officials said.
