Minister for School Education Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi on Saturday urged students to ensure that they involved themselves in extracurricular activities alongside academics.
Addressing around 1,500 students at YMCA, Vepery, at the Koodal Meet organised by the Agni Siragugal Educational Trust (ASET), a charitable organisation, he said students should give as much importance to extracurricular activities as academics. The Minister highlighted the various schemes implemented by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for school education and higher studies.
He then presented awards to ASET staff.
