The Karnataka state government announced a rapid‑action programme to upgrade 100 schools across the state within 100 days, aiming to improve infrastructure and learning outcomes.
Bengaluru, Aug 21 (PTI) – The Karnataka government unveiled a time‑bound campaign to revamp a hundred schools in a hundred days, targeting both rural and urban institutions. The initiative, announced by the state education department, will focus on renovating classrooms, upgrading laboratories, and providing digital learning tools. Funding for the project will be drawn from the state's education budget and supplemented by central schemes.
Officials said the selection of schools will be based on criteria such as infrastructure gaps, student performance and community needs. A task force comprising senior education officers and local administrators will monitor progress and ensure that each school meets the set milestones within the stipulated period.
The campaign aligns with Karnataka's broader goal of enhancing the quality of primary and secondary education ahead of the upcoming academic year. Stakeholders, including teachers' unions and parent‑teacher associations, have been invited to participate in the planning and implementation phases.
If successful, the programme could serve as a model for other Indian states seeking swift improvements in school infrastructure and learning environments.
