As part of celebrating the silver jubilee year of service, octogenarian N. Subramanian and his wife donated a set of supporting study materials, including the Thirukkural, a dictionary, an atlas and a moral poem book to freshers who joined government panchayat union schools in Vannakkambadi and Ramapalayam villages in Ranipet.
According to a press release, despite their fragile age, the couple took time to visit two government schools in these villages to donate study materials for students. Being a native of Vannakkambadi village, Mr. Subramanian used to donate 20 books to the government school for years before he extended his service to the school in a neighbouring village.
During the visit, the couple also learnt from the headmistress of the school that 20 books donated by them for pre-school were instrumental in upskilling the students and helped them bring the award and special honour to her and the school.
