Karnataka Budget 2026-27 Offers Free Education for SC/ST Classes 9-10, Awaiting Implementation

The Karnataka government announced in its 2026-27 budget that SC/ST students will be entitled to free education in the same school for classes 9 and 10 under the RTE Act. This initiative aims to enhance access for marginalized groups, but the lack of official orders and details may delay enforcement. Monitoring the state's administrative updates will be crucial to see when the policy materializes.
