Employment and Purchases

Vellai Thamarai gives priority to recruiting employees from surrounding villages for kindergarten and college teachers, as well all assistants for lower classes. Kitchen, maintenance and gardening jobs are positions proposed to qualified workers living nearby the School.

Temporary workers are hired for seasonal work and construction.

Likewise, the School favours local and village products. Thus, milk, the main food for the 200 students is provided by cows owned by individual villagers; it is cooked and treated for consumption. Student’s uniforms, provided free, are made locally, supporting craft activities.

The School historical and futur development is a growing source for the economic development of its environment.
