To ensure full attendance among tribal students, a government school in Kodagu has launched a unique initiative—and the results are remarkable.

Many children who once refused to attend classes now eagerly participate, as each day is filled with fun, engaging activities. The school has even started a YouTube channel, part of a broader effort to sustain the education of tribal children.

Located in a tribal settlement in South Kodagu, Chennangi Government Primary School has 52 students, all from tribal families. While government schools nationwide struggle with declining admissions, this institution stands out—its enrollment has surged over the past two years. Moreover, the school has achieved 100% attendance this academic year, thanks to 'Dinnakondu Karyakrama'—a special daily programme designed to make learning exciting.
