The Vidyodaya School was founded in 1924 by Elizabeth Sornam Appasamy who was a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi, he said.
Lauding the school management for establishing an institution to educate girls at a time when they were discouraged from stepping out of their houses, Stalin said an attempt was being made to re-instill those conservative ideas into the society.
“Such people still exist. They want to confine women to indoors; and take back the hard won rights of the oppressed,” he said and urged the girl students to throw away these survivalist views; and study well.
“I stress ‘education is an asset that no one can steal. Never allow the thoughts of those who don’t want you to study get fulfilled,” Stalin said.
Education was meant for all, particularly women as education alone can raise the value of a person.
He released a special souvenir and handed over prizes to students, besides unveiling a plaque on the clock tower near the pond, on the occasion.
