    Our <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/12AH8OTq-ds1bX-UrSs2T-i7Aq4wgb9uN/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">press
      release</a> 'Open LPS and start  MMS soon'  was well covered  in
    the Karnataka papers today.  Thanks to Niranjan Aradhya.<br>
    <br>
    The Karnataka Education Department is having an internal meeting
    today to discuss school opening and post opening requirements and I
    shared these articles with the DSERT and SSK officials who will
    participate in this meeting. <br>
    <br>
    The DH article though short, carried important arguments:  <br>
    "The parents who do not want to send their children to school should
    not be compelled, though the evidence about benefits from schooling
    must be communicated to them," stated Dr V P Niranjanaradhya, a
    senior academician.<br>
    Gurumurthy Kasinatha, Founder Director, It for Change, said: "Most
    parents who want to send their children to schools must not be
    deprived of the opportunity, rather the fundamental right of their
    children<br>
    to education, because some parents are unwilling to send.<br>
    <br>
