V.JANAKI PUSHPAM –INCHARGE - VALLIOOR – TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT
Once I went to my family deity temple along with my family members which is situated near papanasam which is called Sorimuthu Iyanar Temple to celebrate a function. At that time nearly 30 persons from Adaichani came there in a van and each and everybody enquired my welfare. Also everybody gave me prasadam also to me. On seeing this my family members felt so happy and also informed me that their love and affection towards me was boundless. All of them have studied when I was working as a Kendra teacher which was remembered by them. My balwadi students, cultural class students have been grown up and have not forgotten me. I felt so happy at that time.
