North Karnataka Aided Schools Threaten Closure Over Unaddressed Demands
Private aided educational institutions in North Karnataka, led by Basavaraj Horatti, have threatened to close schools and colleges from November 3 due to unresolved demands on pension schemes, recruitment, and administrative issues. Over 69% of aided Kannada medium schools face staff shortages and financial challenges, with vacant posts exceeding 9,000. A protest march is planned on November 2 in Dharwad to submit a memorandum to the government, urging action to address these long-standing concerns.
