Turning Point: Children’s Parliament Brings Dropouts Back to School in Puludhi Kutta
In the village of Puludhi Kuttai, located in Salem district, the members of the National Neighborhood Children’s Parliament conducted a census to identify children who were not attending school. Through this initiative, they discovered that two children, Ajithkumar, a dropout from the 7th grade, and Sudhargar, a dropout from the 6th grade, showed no interest in continuing their education despite their parents’ efforts to encourage them.
With the support of the National Neighborhood Children’s Parliament, the parliament members took the time to explain to Ajithkumar and Sudhargar the importance of education and its potential impact on their future. After understanding the significance of schooling, both children agreed to return to their studies.
As a result, they were successfully enrolled in the Velli Kounder Government Boarding School, marking a positive turning point in their educational journey.
