Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Majhi announced that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed to implement the PM Shri School program in Odisha. The MoU was signed between the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India, and the State of Odisha.

According to the plan, two schools in each block and urban area will be developed under the PM Shri school initiative.
