35-year-old govt primary school closed due to a lack of students in Karnataka’s Siddalingapura

A government primary school in Siddalingapura, established in 1991, has been shut down due to dwindling student numbers, impacting several nearby villages. The school’s closure, effective July 6, follows a trend of declining enrolment in government schools as parents increasingly favor English-medium education. Authorities have stated the school could reopen immediately if at least five students enroll.
