Chief Minister inaugurates ‘Innovation and Impact Hubballi’
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that steps will be taken on priority basis to provide technical education to children in high schools so that they acquire technical skills to compete in the global level.
He was inaugurating a programme, “Innovation and Impact Hubballi”, organised as part of Beyond Bengaluru initiative organised by the Department of Information Technology and Bio Technology in Hubbballi through videoconference from Bengaluru on Tuesday.
The Chief Minister said that way back in the 1960s a technical school was set up in Hubballi for training high school students, which, however, failed to fulfil its objective and ended up becoming another normal high school. “There is a need to upgrade such technical schools. As children have more grasping power, they can be given technical training,” he said.
