Within 11 days of the Karnataka government’s order providing special admissions for students from strife-torn Manipur, around 170 students from the region have joined various schools and colleges in the State.
Around 110 children have joined higher primary and high schools and 60 students have enrolled for PU courses and colleges. All students have enrolled in private management boarding schools. With violence continuing unabated, people are migrating to different States for shelter and education. In the light of that, the Karnataka government has eased the process of enrolling students from that State to help them continue their studies.
The State government issued an order stating that if students from classes I to X from Manipur, who seek enrolment in schools following the State curriculum for the academic year 2023-24, do not have the necessary documents and certificates, their applications be considered as special cases. They should be enrolled without forcing them to provide their birth certificate, transfer certificate, or any other document. Schools and colleges should get a self-attestation letter from the student or parents, and enrol them in the same class in which the student was in the previous school.
