Govt to name govt schools after firms that invest CSR funds
The New Indian Express Mangaluru
|September 06, 2025
To strengthen the education infrastructure, the state government is planning to encourage corporates to invest Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds in building schools, which may be named after their companies.
Speaking at a Teachers' Day event at the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) office on Friday, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said the upcoming cabinet meeting will take an important decision to build schools using CSR funds. "Companies constructing schools may have them named after their brand. However, the buildings must be of the highest quality, and CBSE-level education should be provided in an urban model. Some schools have already started, and our goal is to build around 2,000 schools."
