The student's parents and Vijay gave out awards and certificates. He also gave an inspiring speech about his goals, his path, and the value of education.
Exclusive glance of the occasion:
At the gathering he organised, Thalapathy Vijay gave a motivational address to schoolchildren in which he discussed voting, failure, and the value of reading. We present a few passages from the same to you. I've given a lot of speeches at audio and cinema events, he claimed. However, this is a first. There is a sense of greater accountability here. Your students remind me of my school days when I see you. I didn't do well in school. I was merely an average, passing student. I don't want to bore you by telling you that I would have been a doctor or something else if I hadn't become an actor, he added. My journey was on the route of my dream: movies.
Speaking about the event, he said, “The reason for this event is a recent dialogue that I came across. It said: Your education cannot be taken, but anything else can! Those words affected me. It is the truth. For a very long time, I have wanted to work in the field of education. I think now is the appropriate time for that. I appreciate all the educators who worked with these youngsters. I appreciate the Vijay Makkal Iyakkam members finding and bringing the top rank students from different areas.
