Tribal hamlets in Kalvarayan Hills to get micro vans for taking kids to school
The New Indian Express Vellore
|December 18, 2024
WORKING towards addressing the challenges faced by children from tribal areas in accessing formal education, the Tribal Welfare Department is planning to launch a pilot initiative to provide micro vans to four schools in Kalvarayan Hills of Kallakurichi district.
In tribal areas, children have to trek several kilometres through hills and forests to reach the schools due to the lack of transport facilities. This also leads to high dropout rates among the students, leaving them vulnerable to child labour.
The micro van initiative aims to provide much-needed transport to children studying classes 1 to 5. According to Tribal Welfare Department officials, the facility will first be launched at schools in Maniyarpalayam, Ezhuthur, Kottaputhur and Innadu.
