Develop century-old schools in Karnataka as heritage institutions: KDA to govt.

There are a total of 3,139 schools in Karnataka that are over a century old as on December, 2025. At least 31 among them, one in each district where prominent people have studied, should be developed as “Heritage Schools”, recommended a report submitted by the Kannada Development Authority (KDA) to the government.

Purushottama Bilimale, chairman of KDA, submitted a report on century-old government schools to School Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa on Friday.
