During the observance Mr. Y Mariswamy, member KSCPCR opined that it is
the need of the hour to amend the act which gives way to free education
till 18 years of age which is currently caped to 14 years. At the same
time budgetary allocation for education should be raised to 25% as
against currently prevailing 10% to ensure quality education. He also
opined that 25 % reservation is a boon to under privileged and backward
community children as it breaks the barriers of discrimination and
gives access to education.
Children especially Girls quit the schools owing to lack of Toilets,
portable drinking water, lack of transportation facilities and other
basic infrastructural facilities which is humiliating to note said
