Summary:

The school with classes 1 to 7 has 20 students and four teachers. The boys' school has proposed a merger of the two state-owned institutions, but the government is yet to mak e a decision .Boys' school headmaster VC Bannihatti said they were trying to revive student enrolment. Another reason why the institution has stopped attracting students in scores is because of a government girls' primary school located nearby. The government should resurrect the historic school by increasing admissions and constructing a new building," he said. Lack of basic amenities, too, has precipitated what looks to be the government sch- ool's untimely demise..
