Vellore Corporation plans to install solar power systems at
Corporation schools, for which a feasibility study would be conducted
shortly.

The Education Committee attached to the Corporation had
identified five schools, including three high schools in Kosapet,
Salavanpet and Kaspa, located at important locations in the city, to
provide generators.

President of the committee and councillor of
ward-41, K Suriya Achari, said, “At the recent Education Committee
meeting, officials discussed the feasibility of providing Corporation
schools with generators. However, some of them had noted that this would
lead to the issue of maintenance of the generators. So, we decided to
install solar power systems, which was also being encouraged by the
State government.”

Corporation Commissioner P Janaki Raveendran
said a feasibility study would be conducted in the schools once the
examinations were over. At schools where the study gives positive
results, the Corporation has decided to carry out the installation work
during the summer holidays and complete the work before the schools
reopen for the next academic year.
