Malayalam film ‘Sthanarthi Sreekuttan’ inspires a new seating arrangement in Kerala classrooms

Vinesh Viswanath did not wait for her first attempt, Sthanarthi Sreekuttanto start a revolution. The culmination of the aging Malayalam film, which is heated about a higher school in Thiruvananthapuram, shows how a classroom is in favor of a semi -circle with a traditional session -based seating arrangement. And this was accepted by several schools in Kerala after the film, which was released on the OTT platform SAina Play last month.

“At least six schools have already introduced and we knew when they tag our Instagram Step, V says Vinesh.

The idea is being discussed by the meticulous character of the film, which is a constantly late backbencher. The concept underlines the need to eliminate the practice of hard -working children’s pre -bankers and often destructive rebels, Backbenchers.

The concept is not new because the Regional Primary Education Program (DPEP), which was initiated by the central government in six states, including Kerala in 1994, proposes flexible seating arrangements tried by some schools. However, most educational institutions tend to the traditional order system.

Vinesh, who writes the story and wrote the script with Anand Manmadhan, Murali Krishnan and Kailash S Bhavan, says that he was sitting in his first classes in the Pediculam Government in Thiruvanathapuram in his first classes in LPS. “But when we place it as a climax, we have never expected it to reach so many schools, or he says.

Aju Varghese, Johny Antony and a group of children actor had a few factors stacked against him from the very beginning. It was released after a almost one -year delay, and despite the shining investigations, there was a very short theater run. The OTT version arrived seven months later and was accepted as a long space.

The first school, which introduces the new seating arrangement, was ruled by the RVV HSS, KB Ganesh Kumar in the Kollam Region, and was ruled by the Kerala government, a actor in the Malayalam cinema. “We showed him a few months before the theaters reached the theaters, and we liked it very much. We were unaware that one of his relatives was introducing the system in his school until he told us. However, we could not emerge after the film was published because the film was published.

According to RVV HSS Manager Sunil P Sekhar, the new regulation was introduced in one to four classes last year. Sunil, “We continue with this. It is not possible to have a semi -circular order in all classes because the size of the classes and the number of students in each department is changing. In these cases, there are classes with 35 to 40 students. In such cases, we have changed the shape without compromising the idea of ​​the teacher’s attention to everyone.”

The best way to communicate with students. The film inspired us to make us permanent and now except for all the first classes except for the classes that are not large enough. This arrangement is academically eliminated from inequality between good and weak students”.
