Jyothi initiative to educate kids of migrant workers

T'puram: On Wednesday, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan launched ‘Jyothi,' a new initiative to provide education to the children of migrant workers. "Migrant workers are crucial to Kerala's workforce, with over 35 lakh contributing across various sectors. Many live here with their families, so it's important to extend Kerala's tradition of free public education to their children," said a statement issued from the chief minister's office.The initiative aims to enrol all children of migrant workers, aged three to six, in anganwadis and ensure those aged six and above join public schools. It also focuses on promoting cultural and educational inclusion. This project is a key step in supporting migrant workers' welfare and reaffirms the state govt's commitment to inclusive development, he said.
