Selvarani Rajarathnam has now approached a crowdfunding site
Located along a narrow alley in Nagalapuram, a village 30 km from Thuraiyur, Sri Selliah Memorial School for Intellectually Disabled Children has fallen silent. For over a year, since the outbreak of the pandemic, its walls have not resounded with the giggles of its 31 students.
With funds running dry due to lack of donations, the threat of permanent closure looms large.
The school, consisting of two classrooms, was established for children with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities by Selvarani Rajarathnam, a lawyer from Tiruchi.
