Karnataka Government Schools Struggle With Furniture Shortage After Policy Shift

Government schools across Karnataka are facing severe infrastructure gaps after shifting from the Nali Kali system to mono-grade bilingual classrooms from June 1. Many schools lack desks, benches and even adequate classrooms, forcing children to sit on floors or share cramped spaces. Teachers and headmasters are seeking CSR funds and donations to address shortages. While some districts have basic facilities, others struggle, exposing a gap between policy decisions and ground-level implementation across schools statewide now.
