The Karnataka government will reduce the volume of school textbooks by about one-third, thus making the school bags lighter from the academic year 2024-25, said Minister for School Education and Literacy Madhu Bangarappa in Mangaluru on September 24.
Talking to reporters, Mr. Bangarappa said the government has worked out a way to drastically reduce the weight of the school bag. “There will be no change in the content, but the volume will be reduced,” he said.
