Increase student enrolment in govt schools, minister Madhu Bangarappa tells officials
Belagavi: The primary and secondary education minister Madhu Bangarappa, directed officials to intensify efforts to increase student enrolment in govt schools, following the directions of the CM Siddaramaiah. He addressed the officials of the department in the review meeting organised at the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha (SVS) here on Tuesday evening. The minister emphasised the need to manage govt schools on par with private institutions by ensuring quality education. He urged officials to focus on schools with declining attendance and prioritise bringing children back to classrooms. To support this, Bangarappa proposed launching a state-wide 'Shalege Ba' (Come to School) campaign, involving door-to-door visits to motivate parents and guardians to enrol their children. "Govt schools offer free uniforms, textbooks, mid-day meals, and other essential facilities. With admissions open until July 30, we must ensure that more children benefit from these services," he said. The minister highlighted Gokak and Raibag taluks as areas with particularly low enrolment and directed officials to monitor schools through regular surprise inspections. He noted an improvement in SSLC results in the district compared to last year and expressed optimism for continued progress. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Why These Off-Plan Dubai Apartments Sell Fast?

He said capable teachers should be recognised and entrusted with greater responsibilities. He reiterated the govt's commitment to promoting literacy through the 'Odu Karnataka' (Read Karnataka) initiative across all districts. "Ensuring teacher attendance and accountability is non-negotiable," he stressed, adding that department funds must be used efficiently and all materials provided—such as shoes, socks, uniforms, and textbooks—must be of good quality and distributed by the end of July. Amid the ongoing monsoon, the minister instructed officials to assess and report any dilapidated school buildings immediately. "Learning must not continue in unsafe structures. Alternative arrangements should be made promptly," he said. Bailahongal MLA Mahantesh Koujalagi, Raibag MLA Duryodhan Aihole, ZP CEO Rahul Shinde, additional commissioner of Belagavi educational division Jayashree Shintre, and deputy director Leelavathi Hiremath were present.

State eyes to achieve Jal Jeevan mission target by '28, over 34 lakh rural homes get tap water
1 2 Ranchi: With over 34.4 lakh rural households now receiving water through taps, Jharkhand is steadily progressing in implementing the Jal Jeevan Mission, a Union govt initiative launched in August 2019 to provide functional tap water connections (FHTCs) to every rural home, school, and anganwadi centre. The state aims to complete the project by December 2028, and senior officials say the ongoing gaps are being actively addressed through tighter monitoring and district-level efforts. On Wednesday, chief secretary Alka Tiwari reviewed the mission's progress with all deputy commissioners (DCs) via video conferencing and asked them to take proactive ownership of the mission's implementation. "Every DC must lead from the front to ensure smooth and timely execution of the mission. Regular field visits, engagement with local mukhiyas and coordination with technical staff are essential," she said. Tiwari also instructed officials to flag any issues of incomplete work after full payments were made with promises of prompt action after proper inquiry. So far, Jharkhand has taken up 97,535 schemes under the mission, of which 56,332 have been completed. Around 24,781 completed schemes have already been handed over to village committees for operation and maintenance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The state has a total of 29,398 villages and 6,963 of them have been fully covered with piped water supply. Moreover, of the 62,54,059 rural households in the state, tap water now reaches 34,42,332 of them. In Ranchi (west), however, the numbers reflect the unevenness of the implementation. Out of the 2,68,999 rural households in the area, only 1,59,899 have been connected, translating to 59.44% coverage. Under the Multi-Village Scheme (MVS), just 2,523 connections have been completed out of a targeted 92,874. In contrast, Single Village Schemes (SVS) have shown better results with 13,292 out of 14,476 connections achieved. Meanwhile, PHED executive engineer of Ranchi (west), Anand Singh, said, "The MVS component involves complex infrastructure across multiple villages, which takes more time and coordination. Still, we are working steadily to improve the pace and coverage." He added that 1,774 tube wells were also repaired between March and May 2025 to support rural water access. To aid implementation, the state govt has now deputed two dedicated engineers in each district and they will work directly under the DCs. These engineers will be part of a technical cell and are expected to report their daily progress. The implementing agencies, as per mission norms, are responsible for maintaining infrastructure for five years after completion. Tiwari also instructed the DCs to resolve any administrative barriers on priority and ensure timely handover of completed projects to the gram panchayats. "We must ensure that every citizen benefits from this mission without delay," she added.
