Over 18,700 government schools in Karnataka have no land records

The Karnataka government is taking steps to bring a bill to register the properties of public schools in the state under the Department of School Education and Literacy (DSEL) to protect them. This is significant as over 18,700 government schools in Karnataka currently lack proper land records, making their properties vulnerable to encroachment or misuse. This issue is highly relevant for competitive exams as it highlights the challenges faced by the education system and the government's efforts to address them.
