In Taliparamba, Kerala, a boy named Dhanush is the only student to join the first-grade class at BEM LP School this year. Despite having good facilities and being a historic institution founded in 1893, the school has only 17 students in total across grades 1 to 5. Dhanush's parents, who are alumni, chose this school for him, but the lack of new enrollments and permanent staff poses a concern for the school's future. https://www.manoramaonline.com/district-news/kannur/2026/06/02/lone-student-in-first-grade-at-bemlp-school.html #creator program
