CM Naveen Patnaik launches scheme to improve
amenities in Odisha’s tribal hostels

TNN | Dec 5, 2019, 04.32 AM IST
BHUBANESWAR: Chief minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday launched
Mission Suvidya, which as the name suggests, aims to ensure quality in
basic facilities such as the safety of a building, making toilets functional
and usable, ensuring safe drinking water, proper kitchen and dining areas
in hostels managed by the state’s SC/ST development department.
The department has signed two MoUs — one with the Quality Council of
India (QCI) and another with NGO Akshara Foundation — for the effective
implementation of the mission, at the secretariat in the presence of
Naveen.

“I am happy to launch Mission Suvidya that aims to bring a qualitative shift
in the accommodation facilities provided to students in SC/ST hostels. The
mission has a maximum laid down standard for assuring and sustaining quality with an objective to achieve ISO certification,”
said an official statement quoting Naveen.

Official sources said according to the MoU, the QCI will conduct a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of all hostels
under the department and help improve the standard and quality of these hostels to achieve the ISO certificate.

Similarly, the Akshara Foundation that works towards ensuring quality education will collaborate with the department to
improve the learning outcomes of students.
