What is the requirement of Karnataka Vidyagama Scheme?

The state government has clarified that the re-launch of the Karnataka Vidyagama Scheme does not mean that schools are being reopened. Such short sessions are being made available to the students to ensure that children of all classes get proper education. Students from poor sections of the society were having difficulty in online education as they did not have smartphones or had weak networks in their areas.

For such students, the Vidyagama scheme has been released in a revised manner, which did not have the means to take online classes. In the month of August, the Department of Primary and Secondary Education started the Vidyagram program to reach students of government schools by taking classes at the doors of children’s homes in their villages.

Under the Karnataka Vidyagama Scheme, teachers were asked to meet in children’s playgrounds or temples near students’ residences and involve them in educational activities. However, the program was suspended in October after Covid-19 cases surfaced between students and teachers attending classes under the scheme.
