Speaking at the Education conference organized by The Hindu group here, Mr Srihari said that the government aim is to extend free quality education to the six lakh students by establishing 1250-1300 residential schools.

He said that the state government will provide basic infrastructure including toilets, computer labs, compound wall, electrical labs in all government schools by June 2017.

About 3352 digital class rooms were started so far during the first phase, the Deputy Chief Minister said the remaining would be completed by next year.

To provide soft skill to the degree students, the government will establish skill and knowledge centers in every degree college in the state and present soft skill certificates to them, he said.

Mr Srihari said earlier governments had sanctioned junior colleges but they did not provide adequate infrastructure. The state government has decided to construct permanent buildings and provide basic infrastructure. The cabinet also gave nod to regularise all contract lectures. But the delay is due to legal problems.

While appreciating the Hindu Group for conducing such programmes, Mr Srihari asked the industrialists to concentrate on education under their CSR initiatives.
