Erode Collector announces logo contest in connection with the scheme
A 15-day awareness campaign on ‘Illam Thedi Kalvi’ scheme, which is aimed at filling the gaps in learning among students of Classes I to VIII owing to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, was launched in the districts here on Wednesday.
Under the initiative, launched by the Department of School Education on October 18, volunteers will engage with students one hour every day in spaces that will be identified in the locality.
In Erode, members of three cultural troupes --Adirvu, Sembaruthi and Tamilalayam-- have been roped in to disseminate information on the scheme to the people across the district. District Collector H. Krishnanunni flagged off the campaign at the Collectorate and the troupe members would be touring the district for 15 days.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
