SEVAI’s Government Aided Primary Tamil Medium Schools at Mettumarudur and Pichandarkoil – Raja School and Natesan School – reopened on 4th June 2026 to a warm and welcoming start for the new academic year.

With support from the Government, students in both schools are receiving free breakfast and lunch, along with textbooks, stationary bags, and school uniforms, ensuring that no child misses learning due to lack of resources. SEVAI complements this by providing well-maintained classrooms and appointing dedicated, promotive teachers.

Inside the classrooms, teaching follows Tamil Nadu State Board’s activity-based approach. Learning in Std 1-5 is built around hands-on activities, play-way methods, and joyful learning rather than rote memorization. Teachers use Tamil as the medium of instruction, supported by songs, storytelling, group work, and low-cost Teaching Learning Materials made from local resources. Children learn numbers through seed counting, Tamil letters through sand writing, and science concepts through observation of their village surroundings.

Assessment is continuous and stress-free, focusing on each child’s progress through tasks, oral work, and portfolios instead of heavy exams. Extra remedial support is given to children who need help in reading Tamil or basic Maths, so every student is prepared with confidence for high school education.

Together, the free meals, learning materials, and child-centered teaching create a strong foundation for rural children at Raja and Natesan Schools, helping them transition smoothly from primary to high school.
