Education Goals for Odisha

A significant portion of Odisha's population lacks basic digital literacy skills, limiting access to online educational resources, job opportunities, and essential digital services.

Widening urban-rural digital divide

Limited Vocational Training

Few schools and educational institutions in Odisha offer comprehensive vocational training programs, leaving students without practical skills needed for employment in various sectors.

Insufficient industry-aligned skills training

There's a growing concern about the declining usage and understanding of Odia language and cultural traditions among younger generations, threatening the rich cultural heritage of Odisha.
