Notebooks distribution to 1st-8th standard student (Cost: 10K)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ooratchi Onriya Nadu Nilai Palli (Govt. School), Sendrampalayam,Kinathukadavu.

Sendrampalayam is a village, located near Thamaraikulam which is on the pollachi-coimbatore main road. 25 kms from coimbatore and 15 kms from pollachi. The Govt school here teaches till 8th standard.

Initially we thought to select the students who are poor and provide them notebooks.
But in that area 80% of the students are poor. So there is no point in differentiating between the students. So, we got the list of notebooks needed for the students from the HM of the school. We approached the press which makes the notebooks for the students. He provided us with the discounted price.The cost worked out to be ~34k.

Since the amount was more, We took out the long size notes and few others from the list.(1 long size note is Rs. 20 and ~1000 were requested). Finally gave the order for the remaining notebooks. The cost worked out to be ~10K.

Note books were distributed to students.
