A major educational development has brought positive news for tribal communities in Chamarajanagar district. The Ashram School at Nakkundi in Hanur taluk has been upgraded to offer Pre-University (PU) courses from the 2026–27 academic year. The initiative is expected to benefit hundreds of students from remote forest and tribal regions who previously had limited access to higher secondary education.
For years, many students discontinued their studies after completing middle school due to transportation challenges and a lack of nearby educational facilities. The upgraded institution will now allow students to continue their education within the same system, reducing dropout rates and creating better opportunities for academic growth. Community leaders have welcomed the decision and described it as a significant step toward educational inclusion.
Education officials believe the initiative will strengthen literacy, skill development, and career opportunities among tribal youth. The school provides boarding, lodging, and other essential facilities, making it easier for students from remote villages to pursue higher education. The development is expected to have a lasting positive impact on the district’s tribal communities.
