GCC launches new measures to prevent school dropouts in Chennai

The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has launched a series of initiatives to reduce school dropouts and re-enroll out-of-school children. Key measures include appointing psychological counsellors in resettlement colony schools, conducting socio-economic surveys, and organizing special camps for Aadhaar and birth certificates.

GCC Commissioner G.S. Samiran stated that the civic body will partner with the Madras School of Social Work to identify vulnerable children in Ezhil Nagar, Kannagi Nagar, and Semmenchery. The corporation is also coordinating with neighbouring districts to improve school access and infrastructure for relocated families.
