Water tank for Avanippoor Government school

'Avanippoor' is a remote village around 120 kms from Chennai. The school has around 1000+ students studying from the surrounding villages. The academic results have been commendable with pass percentage of 98%(Year 2009) for 10th standard & 74%(Year 2009) for 12th standard.
