Thalavady Farmers' Foundation appeals for educational support for hill area students
The Thalavady Farmers' Foundation has appealed to the public to provide educational support to students from the remote Thalavadi Hills, enabling them to continue their school and college education.
In a press release, foundation's president S. Kannaiyan stated that the organisation, in association with Arulagam, a Coimbatore-based conservation NGO, has been actively supporting the education of underprivileged and tribal children over the past year. According to the release, many students have been able to continue their education or return to school after dropping out, thanks to generous contributions from the public.
The foundation is once again seeking support from philanthropists to help students continue their education in the 2025–26 academic year. The release noted that 15 students, including five former dropouts rejoining Class 9, are in need of sponsorships. Among them is a 22-year-old woman, a single mother to a five-year-old son who was married early, now determined to join Plus One and resume her studies.
The foundation noted that supporters can sponsor a student either fully or partially or contribute toward specific needs such as school supplies, tuition fees, transportation, or examination fees. The total amount required to support all the students for the academic year is estimated to be between ₹4 and ₹5 lakh.
For details, interested individuals can contact Mr. Kannaiyan at 94449-89543, the release added.
