For families moving here
Ask about the language of instruction and the second and third language options early — a household that speaks Marathi or Hindi at home has to plan for Kannada as a school subject. School bus routes reach most of the Ring Road and Camp neighbourhoods, which is worth checking before you finalise a house.
