I am Rakkammal, adviser of Semmalar union. In Mettupatti village there are 9 girls students who have single parents/orphans. Even in this situation the parents are making them study. The sad part is, Dist topper Murugalakshmi is discontinuing her studies due to poverty and goes to fire office. She is unable to continue her studies in Mettupatti Govt college. When asked her, she says, her parents have got money for interest and due to poverty they are unable to continue her education.
