Over 900 guest faculty teachers at Maulana Azad Model Schools haven’t received their salaries for over four months now. This is owing to fund crunch in the Minority Welfare Department and administrative issues with the Finance Department.
The Maulana Azad Model Schools, run by the Minority Welfare Department for students of the minority communities, started by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in 2017-18, have been mired in multiple administrative tangles and lack of funds.
The Hindu in December 2023 reported that with less than four months for the academic year to end, students of these schools had not received uniforms. Though the supply of uniforms has begun, not all schools have got them yet.
