BANGALORE: The state government is committed to implementing the Right to Education Act, and will initiate all measures to finetune the Bill before it is enforced in the state, said Minister for Primary Education Vishveshwar Hegde Kageri.

"With little changes the RTE act would come into force in Karnataka shortly," he said.

He said that a committee under Vishnukanth Chatpalli, a member of the state knowledge commission, was constituted to look into the issue and advise the state government.
