For the third time in a row, students of the Forest Government Higher Secondary School in Nellivasal, a small tribal village in Jawadhu Hills of Tirupattur district, secured 97.3 percent in the Class XII examination. Among three forest higher secondary schools in Tamil Nadu, which are run by Forest Department under Tribal Welfare Fund since 1950, Nellivasal school secured the top position in terms of total pass percentage. A decade and half later, the school became a high school in 2005 before it was upgraded into higher secondary level in 2021 with a total of 302 students, including 114 girls. Except for the lone forest school in Top Slip, 17 other schools are located in Jawadhu Hills covering Vellore, Tiruvannamalai and Tirupattur.
