The Chief Minister of Odisha, Mohan Charan Majhi, has given the go-ahead to a proposal that will bring joy to the hearts of schoolchildren throughout the state. In an official release on Wednesday, it was announced that free bus rides will now be provided to all students under the Mukhyamantri Bus Seva scheme.
This decision was made during a high-level meeting on August 21, which was chaired by the CM himself. The new initiative will allow all schoolchildren to enjoy free bus rides as long as they have a valid student ID card or are wearing their school uniforms.
To ensure maximum coverage, the Odisha State Road Transport Corporation will be revising bus routes and timings. The district education officers will also play a crucial role by providing necessary data for re-mapping these routes.
The statement also mentioned that the commerce and transport departments will be allocating a budget to compensate for the revenue loss of OSRTC due to this scheme. This shows the government's commitment to providing quality education and accessibility to schoolchildren.
This move by the Odisha government is a commendable step towards promoting education and easing the burden on parents. It will not only benefit the students but also contribute to reducing traffic congestion on the roads. With this initiative, the government has once again shown its dedication towards the welfare of its citizens.
