He said that the government has decided to construct additional classrooms in this region. It will be a big revolution if it continues for a period of three years. It will solve the problem of the shortage of classrooms for primary and secondary education. Besides, it will also address the main issue of basic infrastructure.

Bommai also accused the previous governments of not bothering to set the right lacunas in the field of education.

He said that the incumbent government has not only improved infrastructure but has also imparted training to the teachers for imparting quality education. The present syllabus has also been changed to suit the present-day demand
