Govt High School At IRC Village In Bhubaneswar Transformed With Modern Facilities

Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday inaugurated the transformed Government High School at IRC Village in Bhubaneswar.

The school now has state-of-the-art facilities, including 12 modern classrooms, a football ground, designated areas for outdoor activities, a children’s park, a dedicated parking zone, an open-air stage, a tennis court, and a mid-day meal distribution centre.

As part of the transformation initiative, each classroom is fitted with modern amenities, complemented by a public announcement system to enhance communication within the premises. The school’s playground offers a range of facilities including a running track, yoga space, open-air gym, volleyball and kabaddi courts and efficient surface drainage.

Established on October 25, 1983, the school initially grappled with space constraints. However, following its relocation to a new building on September 22, 1988, equipped with 8 classrooms and 4 staff rooms, it began catering to approximately 650 students. Presently, the school has around 2,000 students.

Philanthropic organisations, various government bodies including BDA and Odisha Forest Development Corporation (OFDC) have contributed to the school’s transformation.

Among others, 5T chairman VK Pandian; MLA Susant Kumar Rout; Bhubaneswar mayor Sulochana Das; Secretary, School and Mass Education Department Aswathy S; vice-chairman, BDA, Balwant Singh and Khurda Collector Chanchal Rana were present.
