The Hindu
They want more funds for construction of schools, hostels and community halls in the premises of school and mutts
Seers of 34 mutts of backward classes and Dalits called on Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on January 31 and demanded allocation of more funds in the State Budget for 2022-23 for the communities’ upliftment and grants to schools run by them.
A delegation of the Backward Classes’ Seers Federation led by Niranjanandapuri of Kanakaguru Peeta of Kaginele held detailed discussions with the Chief Minister on the ongoing programmes of the mutts and educational institutions run by them. They urged Mr. Bommai to give special focus in the budget to OBCs and Dalits by allocating more funds for construction of schools, hostels and community halls in the premises of school and mutts.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Bommai said Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister K.S. Eshwarappa and Ministers Nagaraj (MTB), Byrathi Basavaraj and Kota Srinivas Poojary had accompanied the seers who demanded allotment of land in Bengaluru for construction of a building for undertaking various activities for the benefit of OBCs and Dalits. Though the previous government allocated land in Bengaluru, the matter is in court. He would direct the department concerned to clear all hurdles for allocation of land, Mr. Bommai said.
