Modakurichi MLA Dr. CK Saraswati inspected the government primary school in Periyar Nagar of Muthugoundanpalayam panchayat, Modakurichi block on Wednesday. The locals told her the school has over 45 children 2 years back but now it has only 14 children due to lack of classroom.
The school building here is a privately owned rented building. Due to the lack of space here, they requested that a place be set aside to build a school with adequate facilities for our children to study. Then, the MLA said: there is no government land in Periyar Nagar area. So, there is a problem. Efforts will be made to get a place with private contribution for this," she said.
