Young Changemakers Run for a Greener Future
CS Academy, Coimbatore, recently hosted the ISP Changemakers: Ideas for Action Green-A-Thon, a large-scale student-led initiative that combined climate awareness, community participation, and purposeful fitness. More than just a marathon, the event emerged as a meaningful movement driven by students to inspire environmental responsibility and collective action. Students of CS Academy led the Green-A-Thon, uniting 900 participants for community fitness, and climate action, turning a marathon into a movement for a greener Coimbatore The initiative was conceptualized in response to a growing real-world concern which is the steadily rising temperatures being experienced in Coimbatore. Recognizing that climate change is no longer a distant global conversation but an immediate local reality, students began exploring ways in which a school community could contribute meaningfully to protecting and sustaining the ecosystem. As a result, the Green-A-Thon incorporated an impactful environmental gesture: every participant received a native sapling. Native plant species are better suited to the local soil and climatic conditions, require minimal maintenance, and play a significant role in supporting biodiversity. By encouraging each participant to plant and nurture their sapling, the initiative aimed to create a ripple effect across households and neighborhoods, contributing to the rebuilding of ecosystems and the preservation of the citys green cover. The event brought together nearly 900 participants, including students, parents, teachers, administrators, and members of the public. The gathering symbolized the strength of community engagement in addressing environmental challenges. Running together, cheering one another on, and committing to plant the saplings fostered a shared sense of responsibility and optimism, reinforcing the idea that sustainability thrives when communities act collectively. Aligned with the schools theme for the year which is to build a consistent and sustainable fitness regime, the Green-A-Thon also promoted healthy living amongst all those who participated. Primary students brought infectious enthusiasm as they cheered participants along the route, while senior students, parents, teachers, and administrators actively joined the run. A defining aspect of the initiative was its student-led execution. The Student Council and the ISP Changemakers team coordinated extensively with multiple stakeholders to ensure the smooth functioning of the event. Students worked closely with relevant authorities to secure necessary permissions, collaborated with medical teams to arrange ambulance support, organized refreshment counters, and implemented comprehensive safety protocols for the participants. Managing a gathering of nearly 900 participants required meticulous planning and coordination. The students demonstrated remarkable leadership, attention to detail, and a strong sense of responsibility throughout the event. A police official present at the venue commended the organization of the marathon, remarking that it was one of the most meticulously planned events of its kind and expressing surprise that it had been executed by first-time student organizers. The initiative also served as a powerful example of learning beyond the classroom. Members of the public who participated witnessed firsthand the leadership, confidence, and organizational capabilities of CS Academy students, making the event a living illustration of experiential learning in practice. CS Academy extends its sincere appreciation to all participants, authorities, and community members who supported the initiative. The Green-A-Thon stands as a testament to how education, when guided by purpose and responsibility, can empower young minds to drive meaningful change. csacademy.in/coimbatore.

Parawheel Survey Predicts TVK as Third Major Force in Tamil Nadu Politics, after DMK and AIADMK
Parawheel , a tech-driven political intelligence research and election forecasting firm powered by KK Surveys & Strategies Pvt Ltd, has entered the Tamil Nadu political research landscape with a large-scale booth-level scientific opinion survey across all 234 Assembly constituencies in the state. Based on the survey conducted to date, covering over 70 lakh voters, the organisations preliminary findings project DMK with a 41.5% vote share, AIADMK with 36.2%, and TVK emerging as the third major political force with 13.6%, according to the current assessment. Mr. Kiran Kondeti, CEO, Parawheel Specialising in voter behaviour analysis, booth-level field research, and data-driven political intelligence, Parawheel has conducted large-scale opinion surveys across Tamil Nadu with a minimum sample size of around 30,000 respondents per constituency. Based on its preliminary election assessment and current survey findings, Parawheels early electoral projections indicate DMK at 41.5%, AIADMK at 36.2%, TVK at 13.6%, and NTK at 7.9% vote share in the upcoming election scenario in the state. In Chennai, Parawheels survey findings indicate that TVK shows significant strength across several constituencies, emerging as the second strongest political force after DMK in many parts of the city. The data suggests that while DMK continues to hold the leading position in most constituencies, TVK has been gaining notable traction, particularly among youth and first-time voters, positioning it ahead of other parties in several urban segments of the Chennai region. Speaking at the press conference, Mr Kiran Kondetti, CEO, Parawheel said, Our research is focussed on voter sentiment studies across key regions including Chennai, Coimbatore, the Delta districts, and Southern, Northern, and Western Tamil Nadu, along with detailed analysis of caste coalitions, governance perception, and anti-incumbency trends. Our study examines the role of first-time voters, women voters, and swing constituencies in shaping electoral outcomes. A special area of analysis was done for TVKVijay factor, studying the transition of fan bases into voters, youth mobilisation, and its potential impact on the vote share of major parties such as DMK and AIADMK. We have extended the war room model that is traditionally limited to party headquarters, to individual candidates through our One Candidate One War Room initiative. Under this model, we will provide dedicated campaign war rooms across all 234 Assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu. These war rooms will deliver real-time voter data, booth analytics, and campaign strategy support to every registered candidate throughout the election period. Also, as part of our constituency-level political intelligence services, Parawheel can provide candidates with a database of a minimum of 5,000 neutral voters in each constituency. This will help candidates better understand swing voter segments and design targeted outreach strategies during election campaigns, he added. Furthermore, "At Parawheel, we have strong confidence in the credibility and accuracy of our research and data. If the projections or data provided to candidates are found to be inaccurate, or if there is a variation of more than 1% in the projections or data shared, the full amount paid by candidates who purchase the data will be refunded. This reflects our organisations commitment to transparency, reliability, and confidence in the scientific methodology behind our research," he said. From Andhra Pradesh to Maharashtra- Parawheels Proven Accuracy in Major Election Predictions In the 2019 Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections, Parawheel accurately forecast electoral trends ahead of the results. In the 2024 Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections, it precisely predicted the sweeping victory of the TDPJana SenaBJP alliance at a time when several national pollsters failed to capture the trend. Parawheel also delivered accurate political trend analysis ahead of the final results in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly Elections, further strengthening its reputation for reliable election research and forecasting. www.parawheel.com .
