Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that although residential schools are better in quality compared to other schools, more necessary infrastructure will be provided to residential schools.
He was speaking to reporters after paying a surprise visit to Morarji Desai Residential School in Chamarajpet and interacting with the students after the SCSP/TSP State Development Council meeting on Friday.
There are 833 residential schools in the state and well-equipped buildings for all the residential schools are being constructed in a phased manner. "We are converting all Ashram schools into residential schools," he said. He also mentioned that apart from providing free meals and accommodation to the students in these schools, they are also offering coaching in English, Science, and Mathematics.
