- K. Karunya, Class 11 student of Theresa Girls’ Higher Secondary School, Poompuhar, Nagapattinam District (daughter of a cook).
In a brief but meaningful ceremony organised by ADF, Rajan Aiyer, philanthropist and Chair of the American Chamber of Commerce, Tamil Nadu, personally handed over gift hampers comprising new dress materials, stationery kits, and other essentials to the students.
