'Varnakoodaram' transforms learning experience of tiny tots in pre-schools

It was just a few days ago that their classrooms transformed into activity centres, adorned with vividly painted walls depicting various themes.

Thanks to the 'Varnakoodaram' project of the general education department, a new world has been created within the four walls of their classrooms, with improved infrastructure facilities. Implemented by Samagra Shiksha Kerala (SSK) under the Centrally-assisted STARS (Strengthening Teaching-Learning and Results for States) project, 'Varnakoodaram' is now operational in around 850 pre-primary schools across the state.
