Tamil Nadu Seeks Karnataka's Namma Shale App For School Infrastructure Issues

The Hindu · india

Tamil Nadu has expressed interest in adopting Karnataka's Namma Shale app, a citizen-based portal that has documented infrastructure problems in 1,300 government schools across the state. The app has received reports detailing issues such as dysfunctional toilets, lack of clean drinking water, and collapsed ceilings. Launched on August 27, 2026, Namma Shale has geotagged all 47,000 government schools in Karnataka, allowing users to report problems anonymously. Verified reports are publicly displayed, escalating to 'Overdue' status if unaddressed for 30 days, promoting transparency.
