Phulbani Odisha’s Minister of School and Mass Education, Nityananda Gond, paid a routine visit to Kandhamal district. During his tour, he inspected the Government Residential Girls’ High School at Pakanagaon near Phulbani.
To his surprise, out of 378 enrolled students, only 5 were present on campus. Shocked by the poor attendance, the minister expressed his strong displeasure toward the headteacher and teaching staff.
He also voiced dissatisfaction with the cleanliness of the school premises and advised staff to maintain hygiene and keep the school environment clean. He instructed that such incidents should not be repeated in the future.
The minister personally visited the hostel, observed the condition, and emphasized that the school should have been properly prepared before reopening, as per government directives. Discussions are ongoing about the school administration’s negligence in following these instructions.
