Addressing around 1,500 students at YMCA, Vepery, at the Koodal Meet organised by the Agni Siragugal Educational Trust (ASET), a charitable organisation, he said students should give as much importance to extracurricular activities as academics. The Minister highlighted the various schemes implemented by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for school education and higher studies.

He then presented awards to ASET staff.

John Britto, founder ASET, said the trust had been providing quality education to financially disadvantaged students since 2018, said a press release here.
