Karnataka Residential School to Shift from Rented Shed to New Building Amid Facility Concerns
The Morarji Desai Residential School in Hassan, Karnataka, housing 172 students, has been operating from a rented private shed lacking basic amenities for several years. Students use the same space for classes, meals, and sleeping, with inadequate sanitation and ventilation reported. Excise Minister K.M. Shivalinge Gowda has directed the Social Welfare Department to relocate the school to a better building soon, with construction expected to complete in three to four months. Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa has also sought details, calling the current conditions inappropriate.
