Karnataka has 41,589 govt primary schools and 4,871 govt high Schools

Data shows that over 17,824 govt schools lack ownership documents to the land they function in and this limits long-term planning, infrastructure development and access to govt grants

Dilapidated building, a cracked ceiling, dripping rainwater, lack of enough classrooms’, dangerous structurally damaged schools are a major problem

While the collapse of buildings is a major problem, broken and/or nonfunctional, water scarcity in toilets present another persistent issue in schools.

According to the department's own estimates, 19,401 additional classrooms, 22,689 boys’ toilets and 52,298 girls’ toilets are required in schools across the state.
