‘Saffronisation of education’ opposed
Staff Correspondent
TUMKUR: The State secretariat of Communist Party of India (Marxist) has expressed opposition to what its leaders described as “the moves by the Bharatiya Janata Party Government towards saffronisation of education in Karnataka”.
Member of the secretariat and former MLA, G.V. Sriram Reddy told presspersons here on Wednesday that Minister for Primary and Secondary Education Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri had already initiated action towards handing over all government schools to Wipro Foundation under the “adoption and nurturing scheme”, rewriting textbooks, especially those of history, and entrusting the midday meal arrangement entirely to an agency run by Tejaswini, wife of BJP MP, H.N. Ananth Kumar.
He said: “The Dr. Jagannath Rao committee on the status of government schools gave its report in September 2007. The committee had 12 members and seven of them were from Wipro. The report is naturally in favour of Wipro”.
He said: “Mr. Kageri has been preparing ground to implement the report and as a result the government school teachers will cease to be government employees”.
Mr. Sriram Reddy said the midday meal scheme was not the brainchild of the S.M. Krishna Government.
The Supreme Court ordered its introduction in schools.
