Malayalam Film Sparks Innovative Classroom Seating in Kerala

Quick Summary

• Film’s impact: vinesh viswanath’s directorial debut Sthanarthi Sreekuttan, a Malayalam coming-of-age film, inspired schools in Kerala to adopt semi-circular seating instead of row-based arrangements after its release on OTT platform Saina Play.
• Adoption by Schools: At least six schools have introduced the layout, prioritizing equal attention from teachers to all students adn reducing disparities between “frontbenchers” and “backbenchers.”

– Examples include Pappinisseri West LP School (Kannur),RCC LPS East Mangad (Thrissur),Andoor ALP School (Kannur),RVV HSS Valakom (Kollam),GHSS tholanur (Palakkad),and NSV VHSS Valacode (Kollam). In most cases, this was feasible for classrooms with fewer students.

• Origins of the Concept: The idea was rooted in flexible seating arrangements proposed under the 1994 District Primary Education Program but rarely implemented traditionally. Director Vinesh recollects similar setups during his own schooling days in Thiruvananthapuram.
• Director’s Career: Vinesh has directed documentaries and worked as an assistant director prior to Sthanarthi Sreekuttan. Some film characters were inspired by real-life people he knew during his school years.
