Odisha government will soon launch ‘Godabarisha Mishra Adarsha Prathamika Vidyalaya Yojana’

Bhubaneswar:6/11/24: The Odisha government will soon launch ‘Godabarisha Mishra Adarsha Prathamika Vidyalaya Yojana’, an ambitious scheme to transform primary education in the state.

This was revealed when Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi held a meeting in Lok Seva Bhawan on Wednesday to review various measures to improve primary education in the state.

Under this initiative, modern primary school buildings will be constructed across all panchayats. Official sources said a total of 6,794 new schools are proposed to be launched.

The scheme aims to create ideal learning environments inspired by the legacy of the Satyabadi Vana Vidyalaya, with a focus on enhancing children’s linguistic and arithmetic skills to better prepare them for higher education.

The Chief Minister stressed that the initiative will strengthen foundational learning and foster the intellectual development of young students through quality infrastructure, holistic education, and a supportive learning environment.

Each new school will have dedicated classrooms, separate toilets for boys and girls, boundary walls, green spaces, digital libraries, language labs, playgrounds, dining halls, computers, smart boards, and more. The curriculum will also integrate sports, physical fitness, and social and cultural education.
