KRISHNAGIRI Eight-year-old Prem Kumar won hearts when he contributed his savings for the renovation
Eight-year-old Prem Kumar won hearts when he contributed his savings for the renovation works at his school in Pochampalli.
A Class III student in Agaram panchayat union elementary school, he decided to pitch in his entire savings of ₹1,488 for the works that were stopped for want of funds.
The school had started works on a new tiled floor for the classrooms using the government fund of ₹15,000. However, with funds falling short, the works were stopped, according to school sources. Prem Kumar came forward to give his savings along with the contribution of his father.
Prem Kumar’s father Seenivasan along with his contribution handed over ₹41,500 to the school on Thursday.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
