Aravind Limbavali minister for Higher Education at a felicitation program, organized by Karnataka Government Secretariat Co-operative Society Limited said the government is thinking of extending the educational loan scheme to non-professional courses.

He informed that last year around 24,000 students availed the benefit of the scheme.
Limbavali told, “We are planning to extend the same to students who want to study degree courses.”
During the occasion 55 children, of employees working at Government Secretariat, Lokayukta, Archives and Legislature of both the Houses and who have scored high marks in SSLC and second PU were felicitated.
In his address Governor H R Bharadwaj advised employees not to indulge in any corrupt activities. He said, “If the employee is caught, his or her entire family will be humiliated”.
