CHENNAI: With many government officials are taking the lead in encouraging the public to enroll their children in government schools, a subordinate judge has now joined the league and enrolled his daughter in a government school in Sivakasi.

According to a Daily Thanthi report, Vijaya Bharathi, a judge who hails from Sankarankovil in Tenkasi district, was recently transferred to the Sivakasi subordinate court from Pudukkottai.
