In Tiruverumbur block of Tiruchi, teachers have launched an outreach initiative named ‘Palli Noolagam Kulandhaigalai Thedi’ to encourage reading among children from the Narikuravar community during summer vacations. This program aims to address the learning loss that occurs when children are away from formal education and to promote reading as a productive alternative to excessive mobile phone usage. Teachers from Thiruvalluvar Gurukulam Primary School at Devarayaneri are distributing activity-based books every Wednesday, categorized into levels such as enter, walk, run, and fly, to cater to varying reading abilities. S. Sivakumar, a retired Principal and the program's architect, believes that if children cannot access libraries during holidays, then libraries should reach out to them. The initiative has garnered positive feedback from parents and children alike, showcasing its potential to foster a love for reading. K. Maruthanayagam, the Block Educational Officer, noted that such programs are crucial for ensuring continuous learning during breaks and strengthening the relationship between schools, parents, and the community. Plans are underway to expand similar initiatives to other schools within the block.
