TIRUVANANTHAPURAM : Suresh Gopi MP on Friday said the students should not take the facilities being set up as part of the modernisation of schools or setting up smart classrooms as added luxuries. He was speaking after inaugurating the smart classrooms set up at the Chinnamma Memorial Girls Higher Secondary School at Poojappura in Thiruvananthapuram.
There was a time when the schools were constructed with asbestos sheets. But now the schools have come a low way from being dingy scorched rooms to air-conditioned classrooms. When the students are bestowed with modern facilities, they should not go away from nature and also understand the damages being done to nature, he said, while offering assistance to renovate the school building from his MP fund.
As many as 12 classrooms were inaugurated, of which eight were developed with the assistance of Navigant firm in Technopark. Lions Club, DYFI, and School PTA have contributed for the construction of rest of the three classrooms. Hindu Mahila Mandiriam president Radhalakshmi Padmarajan presided over the meeting.
