TUMKUR, NOV. 4. A school exclusively for Dalit children was opened at Devagiri Colony in Veerabhommanahalli of Sira taluk in Tumkur district on Wednesday. On September 21, Dalits in the village were allegedly attacked by upper caste people in a row over a stretch of land belonging to a temple. The animosity between them deepened after a Dalit girl was allegedly raped by an upper caste youth. Although the police arrested 60 persons and took steps to restore order, Dalits hesitated to send their children to a school in the main village. A fact-finding committee constituted by the Dalit Jagriti Samiti and the Rural Education Development Society submitted a report to the Karnataka State Commission for Women, making out a case for a separate school and a separate fair price shop for Dalits in the village. B. Satyanarayana, Sira MLA, inaugurated the school.
