I have no objection to such spending. <!-- -->But if just 0.1% of the Kumbh allocation of around Rs 32 crore, was spent on education, more than 100-150 Marathi schools could have been prevented from shutting down.<!-- -->\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>He highlighted the poor condition of residential schools, referring to the recent deaths of students in an ashramshala. \u201cI read about three girl students sleeping on the floor in an ashramshala who died of snakebites, while another is undergoing treatment. The overall condition of many residential schools remains pathetic,\u201d Varale said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>He said education spending has failed to keep pace with growing needs and stressed the importance of modernising schools.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>\u201cThis is despite the rising number of students. There is an urgent need for structural improvements, interactive classrooms, digital screens, early access to computers and modern laboratories in primary and secondary schools to ensure quality education for every student,\u201d he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Varale also pointed out that the budgetary allocation for education, which earlier ranged between 8% and 12%, had declined instead of increasing to meet the needs of a growing student population.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
