BSY inaugurates school building in Malur

Education plays vital role in overall development of a person. Everybody should strive to be educated without any bias and the students should be taught to live for the society, said former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa in Malur on Tuesday.

He was speaking after inaugurating government higher primary school building at Sampangere in the taluk. The school is built using the grants by government and with the help of donation from various persons.

“In spite of implementation of schemes like mid-day-meal, free bicycles, books and uniform, 15 per cent of the children are deprived of education. This is really sad,” he lamented.

He said that educated students who go to cities in search of better opportunities forget their native places. They should make their contribution for improvement of the village, he added.

He also congratulated legislative council member Professor S R Leela for making this dream school building here, a reality.

He said as chief Minister he had tried his best to implement permanent irrigation system and had successfully implemented Bhagyalakshmi and other schemes.

Absence

The local legislator S N Krishnanaiah Shetty’s absence in the programme raised doubts in the other leaders and people of the taluk. 

Legislative Council members Prof S R Leela, D S Veeraiah, MLAs Suresh Gowda, Pratapgowda Patil, ZP president Manjula, doner of the land Rajanna and others were present.
