Mysuru: The student strength at the 185-year-old Maharaja’s High School on JLB Road is at an abysmally low 120 in all the three classes put together (8th, 9th and 10th). The situation is equally alarming this year as no one is willing to join this historic school called ‘Maharaja’s Free School’ set up by Mummadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar in 1833.
Primary and Secondary Education Minister N. Mahesh visited the Maharaja’s PU Composite College and first inspected the renovation work of the PU College this morning. Then he visited the school and after interacting with the SSLC students and teachers was impressed with the facilities at the school but was equally surprised to see the poor strength of students.
