With the objective of promoting interest among the students in extra-curricular activities, Parasuram Salammal Trust, in associtation with the Inner Wheel Club of Theni, conducted Thirukural recitation competition for students of the Allinagaram Govt. High School on December 7, 2010. Several students participated with great interest and excitement. For most of them, this was their first exposure to Thirukural, an epitome of classical Tamil literature.
Ms. M.Karthika secured the first place by reciting 500 kurals (couplets) followed by Ms. M.Rajeswari (230 kural) and Master M.Karthikeyan (180 kural). Prizes were distributed by the office bearers of the Inner Wheel Club of Theni and the Chairman of the Thirukural Committee. The Headmaster Mr. R. Abdul Jappar remarked that the competition was the first of its kind organised in the school and efforts like this will encourage the students to learn all the 1330 kurals.
