‘Akkaareya Angala’ summer camps for rural kids begin

‘Akkaareya Angala’ summer camps for rural schoolchildren commenced across the district on Thursday, with Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer Nandini K.R. issuing a warning of strict action against officials in case of lapses or lack of coordination in organising the camps.

Emphasising accountability, she said the initiative is aimed at providing quality learning along with recreational opportunities for children in rural areas. The directive comes in the wake of the successful implementation of the programme last year, which was conducted in coordination with Arivu centres, the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) Department and the Education Department.
