Tamil Nadu Government’s Department of Tribal Welfare has allocated 26 School Vehicles to various districts inhabited by tribal communities.

To prevent school dropouts among tribal students, to mitigate human-animal conflict, and to consistently encourage them to attend school, the Tamil Nadu Government’s Department of Tribal Welfare has allocated 26 vehicles to various districts inhabited by tribal communities.

The service was inaugurated on October 6, 2025, by the Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M.K. Stalin, at the Secretariat.

Of these, two vehicles will be used under the supervision of the Arulagam organisation in the Nilgiris district to transport students residing in and around Kargudi and Bokkapuram to their schools.

Arulagam extends its profound gratitude to the Honourable Chief Minister for facilitating this initiative; to the Honourable Minister for Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare, Mr. Mathiventhan; to the Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Government’s Department of Tribal Welfare, Mrs. G. Lakshmi Priya, IAS; and to the Director, Mr. C. Annadurai, and all others involved.

 

This marks a significant start in education, akin to a precision strike. Furthermore, this will allow students and animals to move harmoniously on their respective paths, leading to the creation of a nature-friendly generation. This brings us double joy. May this great work continue.

 

Sincerely,

The Arulagam Team
