Earlier, due to various reasons these students from classes 6 to 12 had stopped attending school. A postgraduate teacher from the school, who wished to remain anonymous, told TNIE that student strength had been gradually declining due to poor school administration and academics until last year. There were around 800 students before the COVID-19 pandemic, but now only around 500 remain, he said.
