Centralising the recruitment to Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) has thrown up significant challenges, particularly due to a norm making proficiency in Hindi mandatory for teaching and non-teaching staff. In the EMRS School situated at Gangannagaripalli in Srinivasapur Taluka in Karnataka’s Kolar, principal Vijay Prakash Prajapati, originally from UP, finds it challenging to communicate effectively with the local Kannada-speaking community and vice-versa.
