In the first phase, an allocation of Rs 12,000 crore has been made for the development of 2,200 primary schools, which will provide quality education to the children in a healthy environment.
The main objective of this scheme is to increase basic literacy and numeracy of students through the successful implementation of the National Education Policy-2020 and the “Nipun Odisha” campaign. This step will provide world-class education to the next generation and will form a major pillar towards building a prosperous and developed Odisha by 2036.
CM Majhi said ” Our main goal is to strengthen the infrastructure of primary education. Through the successful implementation of “Nipun Odisha” and National Education Policy-2020, we are committed to making every student proficient in knowledge and skills. Along with modernizing schools, we are also emphasizing on the recruitment of teachers and their skill development. I believe that these model schools will form the main pillar in building a ‘Prosperous Odisha’ by 2036. Our bright students will study, grow and become the rightful eyes of a developed Odisha,” .
