An image of an attendance register with a column to mention the caste of students, reportedly in a Government School near Attur, has gone viral on social media. The School Education department has initiated corrective measures.
The image of the Class IX attendance register at the Government Girls Higher Secondary School showed the caste mentioned in blue and red ink against the names of students. Parents demanded action against the school authorities. The teachers, however, said this was done to provide various welfare schemes of the governments to students.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
