Tribal hamlets in Kalvarayan Hills to get micro vans for taking kids to school

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 in classes 1 to 5. According to Tribal Welfare Department officials, the facility will first be launched at schools in Maniyarpalayam, Ezhuthur, Kottaputhur and Innadu.
