Ten government high and higher secondary schools will receive 10 free copies each for 100 days under this programme, being presented by the district administration and Muthamizh Public School, Tirunelveli. These specially edited and designed six-page all-colour student-centric editions with bigger photos will have numerous stories and news improving reading habit among the students.
