 CHAPTER 12: ROAD TRANSPORT AND
POLLUTION CONTROL

I. ROADS AND BRIDGES

The new policy of Government of India for road development covers measures for land
acquisition, simplification of environmental clearance and financial approval procedures and
the levy of tolls with toll revenue credited to a separate fund to finance road development.
Responsibility will have to be shared between the Government of India, the National
Highways Authority of India and private developers with State Government giving traffic
support and guarantees. The policy also provides guidelines for private investments in
highway development through the Build - Operate - Transfer route (BOT).

Karnataka has formulated a road development policy with the following objectives:

i. Progressively widening State highways to two lanes and taking up expressways and four
lane in high traffic density corridors.

ii. Strengthening pavements to carry heavy loads and improving geometric to ensure better
operating speeds.

iii. Prioritizing improvements on routes which provide linkages to industrial growth centers,
power generation centers, ports, agricultural produce marketing centers and heritage and
tourist centers.

iv. Enhancing safety on State highways by improving accident-prone stretches.

v. Providing bypasses around congested cities.

vi. Replacing railway level crossings by road over bridges or under bridges.

vii. Maintaining roads at acceptable standards.

As a separate infrastructure policy has been announced for private sector participation in
infrastructure projects including roads, bridges and flyovers, the present road development
policy lists projects in the road sector that can be offered for private participation. These
projects will be offered through open competitive bidding. If there is no response from the
private sector, government will consider executing a memorandum of understanding (MOU)
with any qualified company which offers to undertake a project. Government is willing to
propose amendments to existing acts and rules to facilitate private sector investment.
Assistance will be proposed to private investors to acquire land for projects, resettlement
and rehabilitation of affected people, environmental clearance, relocation of utility services,
removal of trees, clearance from the Railways to build road over bridges and under bridges
under their supervision. Private investors will be permitted to collect and retain user charges
during the concession period to recover investments with a reasonable rate of return. The

259
period of the concession agreement with government will be for 30 years and depend upon
financial viability. The private investor should guarantee minimum performance standards
during the concession period. The private investor will have freedom to fix tariffs within the
ambit of existing orders/guidelines issued by Government for charging users of facilities as
proposed in the project. The completed project will revert to government at no cost at the end
of the concession period in good operating condition.

 CHAPTER 14: DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION:
Through Primary, Secondary, University, Technical
Education and Online Education
(Education is the Key to Development)

EDUCATION
In recent years, there is an unimaginable advancement in the field of knowledge and social
and national aspirations of the people all over the world. Thus changes in the field of
education have become indispensable for the better. It is the responsibility of education to
nurture the all-round development of an individual’s personality, to enable them to become a
active member of a knowledged society and a productive citizen of this country. There are
significant developments in all fields of education. Education is having both intrinsic and
instrumental value and provides useful services for the development of nation and enrichment
of an individual’s life.
The human development paradigm recognizes the role of education in the expansion of
choices for wellbeing, security and comfort. Therefore, the right to education is recognized as
one of the fundamental human rights and, the drive towards universal elementary education
aims at ensuring its delivery. Karnataka State has a fast growing economy and this growth is
largely based on the knowledge base of the society. The State has embarked on significant
reforms in the education sector with increased public investment to ensure access, equity and
quality in education, with community involvement.
LITERACY IN KARNATAKA
A review of growth of literacy during the 2001–2011 decade shows that Karnataka has
achieved significant progress. The literacy rate in the State during 2001 was 66.64 per cent,
which increased to 75.36 per cent in 2011.

STATUS OF SCHOOL EDUCATION

In the State general education system is divided into different levels such as pre-primary
level, primary level, upper primary, secondary education, under graduate and post-graduate
education. School education in Karnataka is imparted through Lower Primary Schools (LPS,

312
class I to V), Higher Primary Schools (HPS, class I to VII / VIII) and High Schools (VIII to
X). These schools fall under three categories based on type of management, namely
(i) Government schools managed by the Departments of Education, Social Welfare and Local
self-governments (ii) Government aided schools and (iii) Private unaided schools. There are
also a few ‘other’ schools consisting of mixed categories. In 2021-22 there were 24153
Lower Primary, 30876 Higher Primary and 17265 High Schools in the State.
In the total number of schools, the percentage of education department’s schools is as high as
85.90 percent in lower primary schools and 70.95 percent in higher primary schools.
However, Education Department’s participation is low in secondary education as only
27.41 percent of the high schools are managed by Government. Government schools are
mainly located in rural areas, where as private schools are largely urban based.

“Shikshana Kirana” (Student Achievement Tracking System)

“Shikshana Kirana”, the Students Achievement Tracking System that tracks every child
enrolled in school, by unique identity and name, regularity, academic performance,
promotions, transfers, identify drop outs etc., has captured student specific data of about
1 crore students studying in all schools of the state. The system is designed for online
monitoring of the performance of students, teachers and school managements.
This system could already digitize the records of more than one crore students, four lakhs
teachers and seventy nine thousand one hundred and twenty seven schools in the whole state
including private aided and unaided schools. .
Adhaar, income certificate and caste certificate information of the child is linked with the
student detail in SATS. Opportunity is given to the school HM’s to verify the nominal roll
and print admission ticket through their school login ID for class X (SSLC) examination. It is
made mandatory to submit the indent for the text books only through SATS.

for universalization of secondary education to achieve the target of 85% enrolment in 14-18
age groups in classes 9 to 12. The State is also committed to strengthening the knowledge

986 SW and LB schools, 3775 by aided managements, 7549 by private unaided managements
and 222 by others. The concentration of the secondary schools in the private unaided sector
may be one of the reasons for the low access of children from marginalized groups to higher
education 51.06 percent of girls are enrolled in Govt. schools, and only 45.18 percent of them
study in private unaided schools.

According to the available data, in the state, total of 102894 teachers were working out of
