With their perceived predilection for premium private schools for their children, techies are rarely associated with government schools. But a bunch of techies based in Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram is out to overturn that perception, which they describe as cliched. Organised under Prathidwani, a collective for the welfare of IT employees having a presence in all IT parks in the State, they formed a forum called ‘My Government School’ four years back. It now has 30-odd techies who send their children to government schools.
