Education

Orissa acquired the status of a separate State on April
1, 1936. Oriyas were believed to be tradition-bound and were quite
apathetic to receive the liberal education introduced during the
British Rule. However, in pro-independence days, like other states, it
also participated in the race and witnessed a massive quantitative
expansion in its education system to get a separate position in the
education movement of India. This is now being enhanced by the
Government of India with due attention towards the primary and
secondary education. The importance of higher education and
professional courses are well understood in the today’s scenario by the
students, parents and as a whole by the society, which is reflected in
their performance and interests.
Orissa was one of the last Indian territories to come under the British
rule and therefore was exposed much later to the liberal education
introduced by them. At the same time, Orissa has always made concerted
efforts to provide quality education to all. Prospects of a brighter
future are evidently in the offing in view of certain major initiatives
of the Government of Orissa and the Government of India. The below
mentioned numerical data of various institutes in the state throws some
light about the recent educational status.
