Rama Devi Women’s Junior College to be shifted in Bhubaneswar

Bhubaneswar: Bhubaneswar-based Rama Devi Women’s Junior College will have a new address as the premier educational institution will be shifted to a school, located adjacent to its campus, following separation of its infrastructure from Rama Devi Women’s University.

As per the Government’s decision, the Rama Devi Women’s Higher Secondary School will be shifted to Unit-9 Govt Girls’ High School, which will be merged with Unit-9 Govt Boys’ High School in Bhubaneswar.

According to an official notification by Directorate of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha, the Vice Chancellor of Rama Devi Women’s University is pressurizing for separation of infrastructure of Rama Devi Women’s Higher Secondary School from the university due to certain reason.

As the classes of Rama Devi Higher Secondary Schools are conducted only for three hours a day from 7 am to 10 am due to inadequate classrooms or galleries, it badly affects the quality of education of about 2400 students studying in this premier institution, the notification stated.

In this regard, the Director of Higher Secondary School, Odisha, has written to School & Mass Education Special Secretary on separation of infrastructure of RD Women’s Higher Secondary School from Rama Devi Women’s University.

Based on the recommendation of District Separation Committee under Chairmanship of Khordha Collector, the Government approved the relocation of RD Women’s Junior College to Unit-9 Govt Girls’ High School for smooth imparting of teaching and learning in the higher secondary school.

With shifting of the junior college to a high school, all classes of the school from Class 6 to 10 will be merged with Unit-9 Govt Boys’ High School, which is a Co-Education school.
