School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi participated in the event and spoke to students.

Terming that extracurricular activities hold the same importance as academics, Poyyamozhi encouraged students to engage in extracurricular activities such as writing and dancing. The minister also highlighted the various schemes by Chief Minister MK Stalin for higher education, especially for women.
