Recent government programmes on primary education in Karnataka

Government has made very sincere efforts to make free and compulsory education to all the children of the state through various programmes and policies. In the recent days, programmes on education have yielded a lot which is evident from the improvement in enrolment and reduction in dropout rates significantly. A very important issue here is that whatever money spent through these programmes should not reach only means but also reach the end. Means-it should reach the targeted group more effectively not only implementing machinery. As per RTE 2009, all children in the age group of 6 to 14 years have the right to receive free and compulsory education in the neighbourhood school till the completion of elementary education.
