Collector holds mass contact programme in valparai
Measures will be taken to ensure that the dropped-out children from the Valparai region attend school regularly from the next academic year, said Coimbatore Collector Krathi Kumar Pati at a mass contact programme held at Valparai on Wednesday.
He also assured them of taking measures to enable students, who missed the Class X, XII public examinations, to write them in the current academic year.
“If students continue their education without interruption and join industrial training institutions for skill development training, job opportunities for them and their quality of life will improve”, said Mr. Pati.
He further stated that shorter height and underweight were noticed in children in Valparai region. Measures were taken to ensure distribution of nutrition kits ( sathu maavu) to the children under the Integrated Child Development Services Scheme. Due to this, the body weight of children increased by 400 gram, he said.
The Collector distributed welfare assistance worth ₹24.60 lakh to 140 beneficiaries at the mass contact programme.
