Arichapuram there is one Middle School(160 students) and Balwadis
(25-30 children) both are in good shape . The school had three government
teachers and three asha teachers and we have provided all support for this
school and now this year it is a Middle School and a grant of 3 class room and a
Kitchen from S.S.A. for about Rs. 9.5.Lakhs. From P.T.A they have purchased
additional land for school and the construction is over. This year

teachers Because of our teachers the standard of education is good
now. The Government has provided few computers and a T.V. Asha also provided
computers and tables. For the balwadi we provided study materials,

At
Poovanur this year being a High school the new H.M. is posted and
with about 400 Children. And H.M. is also not interested in Asha support. So
this year We are dropping this School.
PUP
School- Kannur.
This
School is in Needamangalm Block and about 10 Km from Mannarkudi.
It is a small Village and financially backward area. The children of
this school do not have neat Uniform. The School is in bad shape with a small
play Ground. With 60 Children it has only rwo Government Teachers ( One H.M ).
