The Odisha government will appoint 16,010 teachers by October 5, according to School and Mass Education Minister Nityananda Gond. He assured that no school will have a single teacher and that additional recruitment will be considered if necessary.
Schools lacking proper infrastructure will be upgraded under the PM Shri Yojana, providing smart classrooms and e-libraries. Gond also announced new uniforms for Class IX and X students, emphasizing that education should remain apolitical. He highlighted the government’s commitment to significantly revamping the education sector in Odisha.
