Coimbatore: A second year BEd student in the city has become a ray of hope for the 25 school students of a slum that is located just off Keeranatham Road at Saravanampatti.
Every day, the government school students gather on one of Kandasamy Nagar’s widest streets around 6.20pm to revise the online classes and get doubts cleared by their tutor Manikandan, who engages them classes free of cost. The graduate student has requested the city corporation to provide them with a proper building with electricity.
Manikandan, whose mother is also a tuition teacher, was first approached by Vivekananda Seva Kendram to take free tuitions for the slum children when he was pursuing BSc Botany at the Government Arts College. “Since I was free in the evenings, I agreed,” he said. Manikandan soon realized that the dropout rate in the area was extremely high, with many of them quitting studies even before Class X.
