WITH less than two weeks left for schools to reopen after summer vacation, children across the state are preparing for the new academic year with new uniforms, textbooks, and school supplies. School authorities are also busy making arrangements to welcome students back to classrooms. Amidst this annual hustle and bustle, a government school in Alappuzha has emerged as a beacon of change and care.

The Government CYMA UP School, under the Punnapra South panchayat, has undergone a remarkable transformation. Not only has the school received a fresh coat of paint, but its classroom for Class 7 has been upgraded to futuristic standards. An air conditioner has been installed, and two toilets have been attached to the classroom itself. This is the first government school in the state with an AC classroom and attached lavatories.
