Karnataka Government Sets Safety Rules for College Educational Tours Including Selfie Ban
The Karnataka government has issued new safety guidelines for educational tours in government first-grade colleges, banning students from taking selfies or shooting reels during trips and limiting excursions to a maximum of five days, including travel. Colleges must obtain prior approval, follow approved itineraries without changes, and secure written consent from students and parents. Tours involving trekking or swimming require certified experts and local safety clearances, with police informed in advance. Faculty supervision is mandatory, and tours during the monsoon season are discouraged to ensure student safety.
