Earlier on Friday, the Odisha government on Friday prescribed modalities for the implementation of Panchasakha Sikhya Setu (PSS), the flagship programme of the state government aiming to revamp school education by promoting volunteerism and collaboration through innovative citizen government partnership. 

The PSS scheme encourages individual alumni, alumni associations, groups of persons, institutions, social impact organisations, companies, foundations, CSR activities, philanthropists, and others to contribute to the enhancement of the school ecosystem in Odisha.

These donors will be provided with a platform to donate funds, materials, and services for the overall development of the schools in Odisha.
