        abstract = {Kalaburagi (formerly Gulbarga), one of the key urban centers in the Kalyana Karnataka region of India, has undergone rapid spatial expansion over the past two decades. Newly incorporated and peripheral areas—hereafter referred to as the extended areas—have witnessed an influx of diverse populations, including low-income migrant families, informal workers, and middle-class residential developments. The pace of educational infrastructure development in these extended areas has not always matched the rate of population growth. This study investigates the availability, accessibility, quality, and equity of educational facilities in Kalaburagi’s extended areas. Using a mixed-methods approach, we examine the distribution of schools, enrolment patterns, teacher-student ratios, physical infrastructure, and stakeholder perceptions. The study aims to identify gaps in service provision and propose evidence-based recommendations for policy makers, local government, and civil society organizations. Findings reveal significant disparities in school availability, quality, and affordability across different peripheral wards, highlighting the urgent need for targeted interventions and strategic planning to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all children in Kalaburagi's extended areas.},
