Bhubaneswar: After instances of teachers wading through chest-deep water in rivers to reach schools in Swabhiman area of Malkangiri district every day came to fore, the State government today decided to set up a cluster for them so that they can avoid long hours of travel and other hassles.

School & Mass Education Minister Samir Ranjan Dash said the cluster will be set up in Swabhiman area for 10-15 teachers. “Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has announced a Rs 100-crore package for development in Swabhiman area. Of the total package, Rs 10 crore will be spent on education sector. A total of 10 quarters will be built in the cluster where teachers of different schools in Swabhiman area will stay.”
