Writers, educationists, and student organisations have opposed and condemned the Karnataka government’s plan to develop government schools at the rural level in association with private schools under the corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative.
Writers such as K. Marulasiddappa, G. Ramakrishna, and 14 others have written an open letter to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah demanding that instead of handing over government schools to private school managements, the government should provide resources and empower them.
