<h1>National Education Policy reform enabling tech driven rural upskilling and targeted welfare measures to expand access and applied learning.</h1> Implementation of National Education Policy principles is central to transforming Odisha's agrarian communities via curricular localisation, community based and experiential learning, and institutional partnerships for large scale upskilling. Policy measures include expanding mid day meals, proposed free student transport, targeted scholarships for tribal, scheduled caste and women students, and nutrition support in vulnerable districts to improve access and retention. A forward agenda stresses hands on higher education, makerspaces, and multidisciplinary integration of technology and AI to address local social and technical challenges.
