0.1% Of Kumbh Budget Could Have Saved 125 Marathi Schools: Top Court Judge
"Even 0.1 per cent of the Nashik Kumbh expenditure could have saved 100-125 Marathi schools from closing down," Justice PB Varale has said
Supreme Court Justice Prasanna B Varale raised concerns about Maharashtra's shrinking education budget during an event in Maharashtra's Dhule district. He noted that even a mere 0.1% of funds allocated for large events like the Nashik-Kumbh Mela could have prevented the closure of numerous Marathi-medium schools. Justice Varale, who studied in a Marathi-medium school, emphasized the value of learning in one's regional language and the lack of basic infrastructure in many schools despite large expenditure on other projects.
He urged students to stay passionate about studies and teachers to inspire learning beyond the curriculum.
