Kalloori Kanavu initiative sees rise in college enrolment among government school students in Coimbatore
Coimbatore Kalloori Kanavu, a career guidance initiative under the Naan Mudhalvan programme of the Tamil Nadu Government, aims to improve higher education enrolment among government school students. The programme provides information on career paths and higher education options, facilitates access to education loans and scholarships, and offers personalised counselling. In Coimbatore district, the camp was conducted in seven phases, with 3,304 select students and their parents participating. As a follow-up, 116 nodal officers from various departments were appointed—one for each government higher secondary school in the district—under the leadership of District Collector Pavankumar G. Giriyappanavar to visit schools and identify students who had passed Plus Two but had not applied for higher education. Their efforts led to 38 students joining colleges, with tuition fees amounting to ₹4 lakh covered by government officials and sponsors. Among them were two students from Velliangadu village. S. Mallika, a student belonging to the Scheduled Tribe community who scored 526 marks, was admitted to PSG College of Arts and Science, facilitated by the District Collector. 'There were two students who were the first from their village to complete Class 12. Mallika has been admitted to PSG College of Arts and Science and her entire course is free. Devika, the other student, has cleared NEET and is awaiting counselling. We are pushing hard to identify such students and make all efforts to ensure they pursue higher education,' said Mr. Giriyappanavar. According to officials, the enrolment rate among students who passed Class XII in Coimbatore district rose from 83% in 2023 to 93% in 2024. This year, the process is ongoing and has reached 98%, so far. Of the 10,301 students who cleared the exam, 121 are yet to apply for any course. An additional 636 students are taking supplementary exams, after which their progress will also be monitored.

Love for Malayalam literature motivates 70-year-old's return to world of letters
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Bhageerathi Amma was 105 years old and Karthyayani Amma was 96 when they became poster women of the state's literacy movement by passing its examinations with top marks. Their stories have inspired many elderly persons in the state to return to the world of letters after decades. Chandramani C is one such senior citizen. At the age of 70, she has passed the Class X and also the Class XII equivalency exams with flying colours and going a step further, has also found wings to her literary ambitions. A native of Mampazhakkara in Neyyatinkara taluk of Thiruvananthapuram, Chandramani came to know of the State Literacy Mission's Class X equivalency programme five years ago through her former ward councilor Jaya Dali. Though hesitant at first, it was the firm backing of her husband Sudarshanan K, a daily wage labourer, that prompted the reticent homemaker to give it another try at academics. 'I failed in my SSLC exam when I was 15. This was soon after my mother's death. In those days, failure in Class X exam means a full stop to your academic dreams,' Chandramani said. Her love for Malayalam literature and stories of veterans like Bhageerathi Amma and Karthyayani Amma ignited the fire within her to study again. Though taunted occasionally by members of her age group, Chandramani did not step back.
