Kundapur, Feb 12: A unique smart classroom was inaugurated by the government higher primary school Noojadi, Bagwadi in a KSRTC bus here on Saturday March 12.

MLA B M Sukumar Shetty who inaugurated the class said that basic facilities are being provided in the rural schools. “The country can change only when even the last child in the society gets educated. Students who study in hardship reach high positions in their career. No child should be deprived of education.

“Students will benefit as KSRTC runs their buses on rural roads. Officials should make sure that the buses run in villages where there is demand. They should have a service mentality instead of being only profit minded considering the student’s future. Students will gherao Kundapur KSRTC depot if KSRTC does not run their buses in the rural area from next academic year,” he said.
