A team of artists led by Sudhakar from Moodbidri has given a new look to the school, which reopens on May 30, Friday.
President of the School Development and Monitoring Committee, Ramachandra Bhat, said the school follows the 'Nali Kali' (play and learn) system of teaching primary school students. The mural paintings have been created to support this teaching system.
A scene of an aquarium has been painted in a classroom that is scheduled to be turned into a smart classroom. There are paintings related to popular tourist places, such as Mysuru Palace, Halebidu, Vidhana Soudha, and Jog Falls, in another classroom.
The solar system has also been painted in a portion of the school building. The exterior of the new toilet, constructed using ₹8 lakh from MRPL's CSR funds, has a painting showing the scene in a village,' Mr. Bhat said.
A fresh coat of paint has been applied to the school using funds sanctioned by the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who recently received a bag full of vegetables grown in the school, has donated two computers and a projector to the school.
Mr. Siddaramaiah's Press Advisor, K.V. Prabhakar, has donated a pair of uniforms and a bag to each of the 104 school students. BASF India donated books and other materials, worth ₹1 lakh, to students.
A function to felicitate all the donors will be held in the school on May 30, Mr. Bhat said.
The Dakshina Kannada Union of Working Journalists had conducted its 'village stay' at this school in 2018, acting as a bridge between the government and the people of the village to address their grievances.

‘K'taka must fully implement new State Education Policy'
Bengaluru: The Kannada Development Authority has welcomed the State Education Policy recently submitted to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, describing it as a landmark framework that could reshape school and higher education over the next decade. The policy, chaired by former UGC chairman Prof. Sukhadeo Thorat, was prepared by a commission of eminent scholars and educationists over two years, holding 132 meetings and conducting extensive data-based studies of Karnataka's education landscape. 'This is the first time Karnataka has such a comprehensive and forward-looking State Education Policy. If fully implemented, it will radically transform our schools and universities and prepare our younger generation for the challenges of a modern society,' said Prof. Purushottam Bilimale, Chairperson of the Kannada Development Authority. Key recommendations include improving the quality of teaching and learning, ensuring equal opportunities and participation, revising curricula, textbooks and evaluation methods, addressing inequities caused by privatisation, filling teacher vacancies within three years, tackling funding shortages in higher education, and promoting constitutional, civic and human values from the school level. The policy also addresses the medium of instruction debate, long contentious in multilingual India. It recommends a bilingual approach with Kannada and English, while allowing communities to study their mother tongues as first languages. 'What makes this policy significant is its balance — it ensures Kannada remains central to education while respecting linguistic diversity. It is not exclusionary, and could serve as a model for the country,' Prof. Bilimale explained. Special measures have been proposed to set up language training centres, translation hubs, and strengthen Kannada under the 2015 Kannada Learning Act. The framework also acknowledges the rights of Urdu and other linguistic minorities to retain their languages while mandating Kannada as either a first or second language. Calling it 'a game-changer for Karnataka,' Prof. Bilimale urged the government to implement the recommendations fully rather than selectively. 'The comprehensive nature of this policy is its greatest strength. If the government acts decisively, Karnataka's education sector can emerge as a national model,' he said.

Cong should be ashamed of comparing RSS with Taliban
Hubballi: Congress should be ashamed of comparing the RSS with the Taliban. Earlier, the Congress had glorified Tipu Sultan as a hero and now, seeing them join hands with the SDPI for political purposes, it is evident that the Congress has in fact befriended the real Taliban, alleged former Chief Minister and MP Basavaraj Bommai. Speaking to media, he said that on the occasion of the RSS completing 100 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a commendable speech at the Red Fort on August 15. The Congress, however, strongly opposed it out of sheer frustration. The Congress has always tried to claim the entire credit for the freedom struggle. But the reality is that many unnamed freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for independence. Farmers, laborers, and people from all sections of society came together and gave up everything for the country's freedom. It is well known that Congress is attempting to take credit for their sacrifices and pose as the sole beneficiaries of the freedom MP said even though Mahatma Gandhi had suggested that the Congress be dissolved after independence, the party continued for its own selfish interests and hunger for power. Over the last seventy-eight years, their governance has pushed the nation backward. Looking at the anti-national statements of Congress leaders today, one wonders if they truly belonged to the party of freedom fighters. The former CM said Congress should indeed be ashamed of comparing the RSS to the Taliban. The same Congress once glorified Tipu as a hero. Now, by allying with SDPI, they have made friends with the real Taliban. The CM',s criticism of the RSS is nothing but an attempt to send a message of loyalty to Rahul Gandhi. After all, he is not a 'core Congressman.' By making such statements, he is trying to prove that he is more loyal than the king himself, which is very clear. 'The RSS is engaged in the noble task of nation-building. Therefore, it is necessary for all of us to work together. I appeal to every Indian to join hands in this mission,' Bommai added.
