For the tribal children of Solubongu village in Alluri Sitarama Raju district, the school day begins not with the ring of a bell or the sight of a school bus, but with a boat ride across the Raiwada canal. To attend classes at a school in Tamarabba, located in neighbouring Anakapalle district, the children must travel nearly 2.5 km by boat. During rainy season, when water levels rise and boats cannot operate, they are forced to walk more than four kilometres through dense forest and hilly terrain. On Sunday, the children and their parents staged a silent protest, urging the government to establish a school in their village. 🔗https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2025/Jun/09/tribal-children-in-andhras-solubongu-village-risk-lives-daily-to-attend-school?utm_source=whatsapp&utm_medium=channel&utm_campaign=nation
