MANCHADI AND MAZHAVILLU PROGRAMMES

• The Manchadi and Mazhavillu programmes, implemented in Model Residential Schools under the SC and ST Departments, promote mathematical and scientific skills through student-centered, activity-based learning.

• Realising the effectiveness of Manchadi programmes, the Education Department has taken a special initiative extending them to more schools.

• Manchadi and Mazhavillu classrooms are characterised by special learning methods in which students examine, analyse, present and draw conclusions in groups, unlike lecture-style presentations in the classroom.
