Aim is to cover 1.12 lakh students in 10-15 days, says Minister
The Health Department will reach out to nearly 1.12 lakh students who appeared for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for counselling through the State health helpline 104 for those residing in Chennai and the district-level war rooms for others.
A camp to reach out to the students and talk to them for two to three minutes after getting their approval was launched on Wednesday.
“We have got the list of students and their contact numbers from the National Testing Agency. We will send the district-wise lists, and 333 psychiatrists working in government medical college hospitals and district headquarters hospitals will reach out to them by phone through the district-level war rooms,” Health Minister Ma. Subramanian said.
