Termed “Mission 40+”, to ensure that students pass, the programme aims to achieve 90% results in these seven districts. This comes in the backdrop of the region faring poorly compared to other districts of the State. In 2024-25, Kalaburagi district ranked last in the results with 41.35% results. Other districts also had poor results - Ballari (50.91%), Bidar (52.3%), Koppal (56.57%), Raichur (50.76%), Vijayapura (66.78%) and Yadgir (59.6%). The Kalyana Karnataka region achieved 52.42% results.

A special class should be organised for one subject before the school session every day and answers to subject-wise model question papers should be written after the school session every day to increase the quality of writing and improve writing ability of the students. And they should be read aloud,” reads the order. “Students who are absent from classes for more than seven days continuously should be visited at home, consulted and brought back to school.
