Children of Karnataka have been getting much lesser allocation from the Union government under the Samagra Shikshana Karnataka programme, compared to their counterparts in other States that fall in the same category in terms of student enrolment and Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). The programme whose objective is to provide quality education for children involves funds from both the State and the Centre.
Karnataka’s letter to the Union government flagging this issue has so far yielded no results.
