Berhampur: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Sunday announced that a public grievance hearing will soon be conducted in Berhampur.
“The CM grievance cell will visit Berhampur to listen to your demands and issues,” said Majhi while speaking at the centenary celebration of Bhimpur Government High School in Ganjam district.
The CM also reiterated the state government’s commitment to strengthen both primary and higher education in the state. “After Prime Minister Narendra Modi took charge, significant changes were introduced in the education system. In 2020, a new National Education Policy was formulated under his guidance. Unfortunately, this policy was not implemented in Odisha for five years. Now, under our government, it has been implemented, which will bring substantial changes in the education sector,” he told the gathering.
He said the education sector will play a key role in achieving that target of Samruddha Odisha by 2036.
Majhi mentioned about opening of Sishu Vatika (nursery class) in all primary schools of the state as per the National Education Policy 2020. “NIPUN Odisha mission has been launched to strengthen foundational skills. The Godabarisha Mishra Model Primary School Yojana will help transform elementary education in the state. The government is also providing nutritious food to students in the Midday meal scheme to check the dropout rate,” he said.
The CM paid tributes to the founder of Bhimpur Government High School and announced it will be developed under the Heritage School scheme of the state government. “Bhimpur high school was founded in 1924. It has been providing education to the students for the last 10 decades. I have asked the Ganjam Collector to prepare a DPR for the infrastructure development of the school,” he said.
