Stressing upon the role of education in the development, Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB) Chairman Ajay Singh said fighting educational backwardness of the region was his top priority.
“All the seven districts of Kalyana Karnataka are educationally backward. Without addressing this issue, we cannot achieve the region’s development. For focused work in education, we have declared 2023-24 as the year of education. We have decided to spend at least 25% of the special grants that KKRDB receives from the government for ushering in revolutionary changes in the field of education,” Mr. Singh said, at a district-level educational and administrative workshop at S.M. Pundit Rangamandir in Kalaburagi on Saturday. The event was organised by the Non-graduate Primary School Head Masters’ Association.
Briefing the KKRDB’s fund allocation plans for the field of education in the region, Mr. Singh said that a sum of ₹1,250 crore would be spent in the next year, as compared to current year’s ₹860 crore, for improving the educational scenario in the region.
