Students of Gundri panchayat in Erode district have to brave the occasional passing of animals, and soldier through bad network, in order to purse their studies, as their village has no internet connectivity
For students living in 15 habitations of Gundri panchayat, a hill area in Kadambur, attending online classes is a major challenge as there is no internet connectivity. The students brave odds and travel 2 km every day to sit on the side of a road that passes through a reserve forest, where connectivity is available, to pursue their studies. Located in the Sathyamangalam Panchayat Union, the Gundri panchayat is situated 94 km from Erode and can be reached from Kadambur by traversing the 15 km road, including a 9.5 km road that passes through the Guthiyalathur Reserve Forest in Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR). There are about 1,800 households with over 6,200 people living there depending on agricultural land and working under the MGNREGS.
