 Bangalore, Jul 6: Minority status will henceforth be granted to educational institutions in Karnataka only if the institution concerned provides admission to 75 per cent of students from a notified minority community.
This decision at a meeting of the State Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda on Friday.
Enrolment of 75 per cent of students belonging to the notified minority community to obtain minority tag to educational institution has been made mandatory in order to ensure that the educational institutions followed the Right to Education Act, according to Primary and Secondary Education Minister Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri.
Briefing reporters after the State Cabinet meeting, he said an order on granting minority tag to institutions would be issued to educational institutions concerned to follow admission of students under the Right to Education Act.
As the admission process has been completed in educational institutions this year, the RTE would be implemented in schools from the next academic year, Kageri said.

With all due respets to you, I think it is the other way round in reality.Meaning, the institutions run by the minority, are for the rich/intelligent /majority are playing tricks to get as much grants/money from the Govt as possibe (Be it the BJP or Congress).
Many minority children are not given admission in the schools run by the minority. It is the right time for minorities to fight for justice with the schools run with minority tag.
