Efforts in Koida to reduce dropout rate through bus initiative.

The town of Bhubaneswar has recently seen a positive and heartwarming effort by Vedanta Sesa Goa-Iron Ore Odisha. In an effort to tackle the issue of students dropping out of school, the company has launched a school bus service for students residing in the villages of Rengalbeda and Nadidihi in the Sundargarh district. This initiative has been taken with the aim of providing safe and reliable transportation for the children in the region, ensuring that they have access to education without any hindrances.

The school bus, which can accommodate up to 32 students, was handed over to the Block Development Officer and Sarpanch of Kasira. This bus will be responsible for transporting students to three different schools in the area. With the introduction of this service, Vedanta IOO is addressing the transportation challenges faced by students and also reducing the health hazards that they previously encountered while walking long distances to school.

The inauguration of the school bus service was attended by a number of important individuals, including Koida block BDO Rashmi Rekha Patra, panchayat members, community members, and students. The event was also graced by key IOO staff members, such as COO - IOO Biswanath Sahoo, logistics head Camilo Fernandes, and CSR and ER head Sambit Nayak. Expressing his views on this initiative, Sahoo said, "This school bus service is not just a means of transportation. It represents our commitment to the holistic development of the communities we serve. By improving access to education, we are investing in a brighter future for the children and empowering the next generation to achieve their full potential."

The launch of this school bus service has been greatly appreciated by the Koida BDO, who stated, "The introduction of the school bus service is a transformative initiative for the community. It not only improves access to education but also eases the concerns of parents regarding the safety of their children. We appreciate the effort of Vedanta Iron Ore Odisha for their continued support in uplifting the lives of students and families in our region." It is heartening to see a company like Vedanta IOO take such proactive steps towards the betterment of society, and this effort is sure to have a positive impact on the lives of the students and their families.
