Satish Jarkiholi denies having recommended scrapping guarantee schemes

Minister for School Education Madhu Bangarappa said the government of Karnataka would neither revise nor withdraw guarantee schemes. “All the five guarantee schemes are guaranteed for the next five years,” he said.

Referring to the differences in opinion among his ministerial colleagues on the guarantee schemes, Madhu Bangarappa said there have been issues with regard to ineligible people getting the benefits under the schemes. “Such complaints are there with respect to all government schemes. We need to check if some people not eligible for schemes are enjoying them,” he said.

The Minister appealed to the public to contribute funds for the development of government schools. He would be contributing materials worth over ₹10 lakh to the school where his father studied.
