The new academic year commenced in Tirunelveli as students returned to school on Thursday. District Collector Anand Mohan welcomed the children of Corporation Primary School in Perumalpuram with garlands and chocolates, demonstrating his commitment to fostering a positive educational environment. Arriving early, he greeted students as they arrived, personally guiding them to their classrooms. In addition to this warm reception, the Collector assessed the quality of breakfast provided to students and inaugurated the distribution of essential educational supplies, including textbooks and notebooks. According to preliminary reports, there has been an increase in admissions in government schools. To address potential dropouts, the district has established monitoring committees in each school, with senior officers designated to oversee these efforts. Collector Mohan stated that immediate actions will be taken to reintegrate any identified dropouts back into the educational system, even offering to visit their homes if necessary. In a similar initiative, District Collector Ranjeet Singh visited Eswaran Pillai Primary School in Tenkasi, ensuring students received their educational kits and quality meals.
