In the first phase of the programme, as many as 89 teachers who teach Science have come forward to participate. The programme itself is being conducted by experts from Mo School partner organisations.
Apart from this, in all secondary schools of Odisha, an aspirational curriculum is being launched. Kridangana, Koushali, Sahitya Srujani and Jigyansa — at least these four school clubs will be a part of this curriculum, stated The New Indian Express report.
To ensure that these programmes are managed successfully, master trainers are being trained at the state level. Training for Kridangana, the sports club, was concluded last week and now, the training of Koushali is underway.
