Schools in Chamarajanagar barred from taking students to religious, community and public events

Chamarajanagar Deputy Commissioner Shreeroopa has ordered all government, aided and unaided schools in the district not to take or send students to religious rituals, fairs, festivals, community programmes or other public and private events organised outside the school, including for meals or any other purpose.

The circular follows an alleged incident at Kebbehura village in Chamarajanagar taluk, where students of a government school were taken to a Bandi Utsava organised in the village for lunch. The event had arrangements for serving food to villagers.
