Karnataka’s Primary Education Minister Suresh Kumar announced that all private and aided schools in the state will also have a water bell that will ring three times during school hours to remind students to consume water.
“We must not for a moment forget, it is a birthright of every individual to receive at least the basic education without which he cannot fully discharge his duties as a citizen."
Two students held a press conference last week to raise the issue of kids in their school carrying heavy bags to class every day. A few days later, their efforts paid off and the school authorities installed lockers.
