Sanction Rs 70 lakh to set up drinking water facility at Alangulam college: Tirunelveli MP Robert Bruce
TENKASI: Citing deficient water infrastructure at a government college in Alangulam in Tenkasi district, Tirunelveli MP C Robert Bruce has petitioned Higher Education Minister Govi Chezhiaan to sanction Rs 70 lakh to the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage (TWAD) Board for establishing a drinking water facility at the institution. In a memorandum submitted to the minister during a recent meeting at the secretariat, Bruce pointed out that over 892 students and staff members of Alangulam Government Arts and Science College for Women have been facing severe inconvenience due to a lack of adequate drinking water infrastructure. He said, 'With plans underway to introduce additional academic programmes during the present fiscal, the student strength is expected to exceed 1,500.' Bruce said that a proposal for a dedicated drinking water scheme, estimated at Rs 70 lakh, has already been prepared by the TWAD Board and remains pending due to lack of funds. He urged the minister to consider releasing the funds through the Higher Education Department to implement the scheme. Later, while speaking to reporters, he said the minister had assured him that the demand would be taken up with due priority.

Howard County elementary school receives state, national honors
A Howard County elementary school celebrated a big honor last week with its entire student body. Worthington Elementary School in Ellicott City not only received a Maryland Blue Ribbon award but also a National Blue Ribbon award. The distinction is a bright star demonstrating the school's academic achievements, also showing the school is making strides to close achievement gaps. Honors to celebrate To celebrate, Howard County education leaders, the Howard County Council, and other guests joined the school's staff and students in the gymnasium. Some students read essays about what they love about the school. "All the students have worked together to achieve great test scores. They hold friendships that may last a lifetime," one student said. "Work and encourage each other to do their best. They take after their teachers while learning incredibly fast." Robert Bruce, Worthington's principal, said the school learned about its state Blue Ribbon in January 2024. An application had to be filled out to get the national one. "We formed a committee of parents and staff to write that application. There was so much to consider, and so much to write about Worthington Elementary," Bruce said. Bruce adds that the awards are a testament to the school's community. "It's like a family environment," he said. "Our community supports the school, and this school wants every child to reach their fullest potential." Worthington learned of its National Blue Ribbon status in September. It's one of four public schools in the state to get this award for 2024.
