Protests in Karnataka over government plan to close or merge hundreds of rural schools under the KPS-Magnet scheme.
On December 6, 2025, protests erupted across Karnataka as parents, students, and activists opposed the state government’s plan to close or merge hundreds of government schools under the KPS-Magnet scheme, which aims to consolidate schools into one per gram panchayat.
The move, criticized as threatening rural access to education, has sparked demonstrations in Mysuru and Ballari districts, with residents citing long distances, loss of community ties, and risks to marginalized children.
A coalition of school committees warned the closures could violate the Right to Education Act and urged the government to halt the plan, prioritize funding and teacher recruitment, and consult communities before decisions.
