The Sammanthurai Coconut Development office in collaboration with the Coconut Development Board distributed 198 coconut saplings among Kalmunai Zahira College students under the Kapprukai Sipnanai programme.

As coconut saplings bear fruit in around three and half years, students who plant coconut saplings in their home gardens will be able to consume coconuts and also gain an economic advantage, Sammanthurai Coconut Development spokesperson said.
