It would be sensational to see popular artists like Bombay Jayashri, Chithra Visveswaran, Jayanthi Kumaresh, Abhishek Raghuram, G.J.R. Krishnan, G.J.R. Vijayalakshmi, Aswath Narayanan and Amritha Murali coming together for a noble cause.
Information is these artists would be performing online on 22nd August 2020 and the funds collected would be used for creating awareness about Single Teacher Schools or STS.
It must not be forgotten that in the year 2006 STS was established by Swami Vivekananda Rural Development Society. The main objective was to make sure that every child gets an opportunity to study and take education to the door steps of poor villages in remote places in TN.
The above said artists would be doing their bit in empowering children with education by performing online on Saturday and they would gain support for the fundraiser on Milaap.
By this online music concert, a sum of Rs 1 crore is expected to be collected and this money would be used to set up additional 1000 schools. With the idea of creating employment and enabling better communication, qualified women are selected from the villages and are trained as teachers.
Point is STS have blackboard, mat, solar lamp, first aid kits etc and the kids are given books, stationery and health camps for free. The operating costs are very high and inspite of this the members of STS are relentlessly working to take education to the doorsteps of those that need to be empowered the most. Funds have been raised online to garner support from the people in TN and in the world.
