Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday dedicated 240 transformed schools under the 5T scheme in Koraput, Gajapati, Dhenkanal, Anugul Bargarh and Jajpur districts on the last leg of inauguration of transformed schools.
The first phase of the 5T School Transformation Programme started in Hinjilicut in August and ended in Jajpur district.
While in the first phase transformation of 1,078 schools has been completed across 30 districts, the Government has put an ambitious target of transforming at least 3,300 schools by March 2022 before the late Chief Minister Biju Patnaik’s birth anniversary.
"I want the children of my State to be at the forefront in all areas. Glorify Odisha in all fields including study, sports and music. Learn about new technologies. Dream big and walk with confidence to face all the challenges of life. That's the real objective of the school transformation programme,” the CM said.
