குற்றங்களைத் தடுப்பது மட்டுமே காவல் துறையின் பணி அல்ல; நல்ல சமூகத்தை வடிவமைப்பதிலும் அவர்களது பங்கு உண்டு.

In the viral video, Paramasivam asked the people of the locality to send their children to school at any cost and assured them of help if needed. He also highlighted the various government initiatives aimed at promoting education. He mentioned the mid-day meal scheme among others. 

The sub-inspector reportedly spoke to the villagers after a teacher of a government school informed him that 11 students from their vicinity, Tidir Nagar which falls under Paramasivam's jurisdiction, had not been coming to the school for a long time. The teachers also informed that the parents were not responding to the request of the school authority to send their children to school, said a report on The Indian Express.

Paramasivam who was from Madurai told The Indian Express that since he was from an economically challenged background he understood the value of education.
