Alongside this, the state will celebrate Pravesh Utsav (admission ceremony) and Khadi Chhuaan Parba (a traditional festival) in primary schools. These events will welcome students, parents, and teachers, marking the start of a child’s educational journey and fostering a deeper connection between the community and schools.
These initiatives reflect Odisha’s dedication to ensuring accessible, inclusive, and high-quality education for every child. The state’s approach aims to build a solid educational foundation, paving the way for a bright and successful future for its students.
