At a valedictory function on Sunday, Collector G Lakshmipathy while addressing the event said Kovilpatti, which is known as ‘Karisal Bhoomi’ (drought-stricken area), produced more writers, who contribute much to the society.
The Collector then appealed to the students to develop a reading habit and urged the need for them to be creative and inventive.
