    CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday congratulated Sub-Inspector Paramasivam for speaking up for children's right to education.

    He took to his official Twitter handle and wrote, "I read the happy news in today's paper in the morning and I will share. The job of the police is not just to prevent crime, but they also have a role to play in shaping a good society. I congratulate SI Paramasivam of Pennalurpet for speaking up for children's right to education." (sic)

    A video of a sub-Inspector with Tiruvallur district visiting a village and appealing to families to send their children to school went viral on the internet.

    The Sub-Inspector, Paramasivam, attached to the Pennalurpet Police station went to a village in his jurisdiction after the staff of a government school informed police that students have not been turning up at school for the examinations, police sources said.

    The police accompanied by an education department staff went to the village. In a video that has now become viral, the sub-inspector was seen appealing to the families to approach him personally if they need help. "Whatever the issue may be - school fee, food, or domestic complaints, you are free to approach me at the police station,” Paramasivam told the women in the village.

    "Do only one favour for me in return. Send these children to school. When they grow up and realise the ground realities, they are going to pose some hard questions to you (parents) for not sending them to school," Paramasivam said.

    The police officer explained about the government schemes that encourage child education and pointed out that healthy food including eggs is provided to children at school.
