The Odisha government has adopted the 5T initiative with the aim of developing government schools' infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the state government claimed to have spent huge money on the development of the education sector in the state. Akshay Kumar Mallik, the additional district magistrate, said, "The BEO has been instructed to conduct a proper examination with proper question papers.
