It will be constructed at Matitota in Puri on 15 acres, for which the state government has allocated Rs 25 crore under the ABADHA scheme.
“I am directed to inform you that the Government has been pleased to accord approval for designing and construction of the project ‘Shree Mandir Adarsh Gurukulam’ at Matitota, Puri to O.B. & C.C.
