At a small village in Tiruvallur district that even Google Maps hasn’t captured, a panchayat union primary school is fighting to survive. From one student last year, the enrolment has increased to three this year.
Nestled at the end of a gravel road at Vellambakkam are three new buildings. One is for the school, another is for a library, and the other is for a self-help group. A temporary teacher has been deputed since last September to teach all the classes and an assistant principal-in-charge has been sent from another school. Two students joined a day after the school reopened on June 2.
