The General Education department will create awareness against fake news. Students and teachers will participate in the ‘Satyamev Jayate’ information-literacy activities as part of the Chief Minister’s 10-point programme.
The Educational Technology teachers’ clubs of the State Institute of Educational Technology (SIET) will organise the programme in the higher secondary and vocational higher secondary sections. The programme would equip students to recognise fake news spread through social media, SIET Director B. Aburaj said.

But according to the latest developments, there will only be four such gardens as the Horticulture Department is most likely to drop the project that was supposed to come up in Chikkaballapura district.
