Mysuru: Children should get quality education in government schools, said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
He also added that there should be development of knowledge, rationality, and scientific temperament.
Speaking after inaugurating the ‘Our School Our Responsibility’ program in Mysuru, Karnataka Chief Minister said, “Liberty, equality, fraternity are the core of the constitution. An egalitarian society should be built. Even though Buddha, Basava, and Ambedkar have said this, inequality is not gone completely. Children should study and understand these thoughts and develop humanity.”
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah added that some innovative programs have been implemented in government schools.
“Government is providing free education for the development of schools. After the Constitution came into force, free education was made a fundamental right. Therefore education is compulsory for all,” he said.
The Chief Minister said that now the government school students get milk, eggs, chikki, meals, and uniforms.
He recalled that “we used to get beaten by our teachers at our times and girls did not study much. I still haven’t forgotten the Kannada grammar that Ishwarachar taught me”.
On the same occasion, the Chief Minister donated Rs 10 lakh to upgrade Government Senior Primary School, Kuppegala, and KPS Siddaramahundi.
Primary Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa, Industries Minister MB Patil, Revenue Minister Krishnabairegowda, Higher Education Minister Sudhakar, Chief Secretary Rajneesh Goyal were present on the occasion.
