Asha Impressions was conducted at PUPS Koovachipatti for students from our supported schools at Thirunelveli and Thoothukudi.

Asha Impression Pearl – 2025

We generally hold a separate Impressions event for students at Thoothukudi. Since students from primary participate in the event, managing the travel and accommodation gets a little difficult even with Project coordinators and teachers pitching in. Instead of the students coming to Chennai, Asha volunteers and judges travel to Thoothukudi for the competition.

Project Work and Selection

Students from Thoothukudi submitted an impressive 359 projects in total. Of this, 224 were for Presentation, 134 for Programming and 1 for physical computing. Out of this, 17 projects in Presentation and 10 projects in Programming were selected for the final competition.

Organizing the event and Competitions

The event was held at Panchayat Union Primary School (PUPS) Koovachipatti. Asha has been supporting PUPS Koovachipatti since 2019.

All the judges for the event travelled specifically for the event from Chennai. Four of the judges were volunteers of Asha. Three of the judges were employees of QBrik, a company that has been supporting Asha and specifically the Pearl project for a number of years. The judges arrived in the morning and were welcomed by the Pearl coordinator, Mr. Murugan and Asha teachers. The competition was held in 2 classrooms, with Mr. Rajaraman, Ms. Sreetha, Mr. Shiva and Mr. Pavan judging the Presentation competition and Asha volunteers, Mr. Venkat, and Ms. Pushpaleela and QBrick’s Ms. Harita judging the Programming competition.

Many of the schools’ Head Mistresses were there at the event cheering their team on! It was a pleasure to see the involvement from the schools.

Prize Distribution

The competitions ended by evening after which the prize distribution session was organized and winners declared.

Venkat and Rajaram spoke about Asha’s effort towards Computer education and about the Asha Impressions event. The Headmistresses of Koovachipatti and a couple of other chipped in to recognize and thank the support provided by Asha at their schools.

Sreetha and Haritha, then spoke about the quality of the competition and how they enjoyed seeing the great projects by the children. Then they declared the winners of the Presentation and Programming competitions respectively.
