BHUBANESWAR: Haryana’s Rohtak born 2002 batch Odisha cadre IAS officer, Dr Krishan Kumar, who is presently Odisha Works Secretary with additional charge as Chief Administrator of Shree Lord Jagannath Temple Administration, has again hit headlines after the senior Bureaucrat shown his interest to adopt 2 Schools in tribal dominated Gajapati district under the State Government’s Mo School’s School Adoption Programme.
“Not one school, but two! Dr. Krishan, IAS, Commissioner-cum-Secy, @PWD_Odisha wants to adopt M R Boys High School and M R Girls High School, both in Gajapati district. Mo School’s School Adoption Programme is seeing huge traction !@CMO_Odisha @SMEOdisha @drkrishan2002,” MoSchool tweeted @MoSchoolOdisha. “It’s my privilege,” twitted IAS officer Krishan Kumar @drkrishan2002.
The State Government of Odisha had received expressions of interest from alumni and others who are keen to contribute to their alma maters i.e. schools that they or their relatives attended. The Honourable Chief Minister of Odisha Naveen Patnaik launched the Mo School campaign on November 14, 2017 – Children’s Day – in response to this philanthropic interest from alumni of Odisha schools residing in India and abroad.
Mo School is an initiative that aims to create a platform for people to connect, collaborate and contribute to revamping the government and government-aided schools in Odisha. A robust and vibrant school education system holds the key to a brighter future for the state and its people. Odisha needs to groom its school children to be successful citizens that shape the emergence of a progressive and cosmopolitan state leading it to be the most developed one in the nation.
Mo School is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country – a citizen-government partnership in which the former leads in designing the programme, defining its goals and directing its implementation.
