To promote Kannada Medium Schools by ensuring that good quality education is provided to children as well as to encourage them to enroll in Kannada medium schools one has to provide, more facilities to attract students with free distribution of uniforms, note books and scholarship to support them especially for those who come from very poor families by recognizing community participation as one of the effective strategies to improve access and quality in education in rural areas through kind hearted Donors for such schools. So my Alma Mater is one such school where children can avail these facilities and continue to study in Kannada medium Schools. I must say a very good gesture from the Scholl management, well wishers and old students alike. | |

Happy to see my old school and class rooms. very good gesture by the old students to support the school. In todays world when getting children for the Kannada medium is getting difficult, surely old students should support the school. Long live my school | |
