The Government Undergraduate College for Girls in Koppal is facing numerous challenges, including the presence of thugs on campus and a lack of proper infrastructure. The college currently has around 1,477 female students enrolled in arts, commerce, and science programs. Unfortunately, the absence of a high-rise compound surrounding the college makes it susceptible to criminal activities.

The compound behind the classrooms has stones that can be easily climbed, leading to security concerns. Additionally, there is a significant problem with garbage disposal, with litter scattered everywhere. Stones are also being thrown at classroom windows, causing damage and posing risks to students’ safety.
Another issue faced by the college is a shortage of buses on the Mangalore and Kinna routes. As many students come from rural areas within and outside the district, they have no choice but to undertake dangerous journeys due to limited transportation options.
Furthermore, despite the large number of students attending the college, there is an insufficient number of toilets available. However, a grant of ₹21 lakh has been released for constructing new toilets to address this problem.
To improve security measures on campus, CCTV cameras have been installed. This step aims to curb criminal activities perpetrated by thugs within the college premises.
In addition to these issues specific to female students’ facilities at this particular college in Koppal district, other colleges such as boys’ undergraduate colleges are also facing their own set of problems. The boys’ undergraduate college lacks an RO plant for drinking water supply and received poor SSLC results this year.
Efforts are being made by authorities to address these challenges through regular discussions about necessary infrastructure improvements with relevant departments. However, some staff members express disappointment that many requests remain unfulfilled despite repeated appeals.
Overall improvement in infrastructure facilities such as water supply through R.O. plants is required not just at this girls’ undergraduate college but also at other educational institutions within Bhagyanagar premises where both high schools and P.U. colleges exist together, serving more than 800 students collectively.
