Title: Need to open a Kendriya Vidyalaya at Paralakhemundi in Orissa.
SHRI CHANDRA SEKHAR SAHU (BERHAMPUR – ORISSA): Sir, there is an urgent need for opening of a Kendriya Vidyalaya at Paralakhemundi, the district headquarter. Paralakhemundi, the headquarter of Gajapati district is having many Central Government offices. Employees who are coming here from other parts of the country face much difficulty for their children’s education. The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has a proposal for opening of a Kendriya Vidyalaya at Paralakhemundi. Accordingly, an expert team has visited Paralakhemundi for survey and to my knowledge has given a favourable report for opening of Kendriya Vidyalaya at Paralakhemundi. So, through you, sir, I draw the attention of the hon. Minister of Human Resource Development to expedite the matter and open the Kendriya Vidyalaya immediately during this session as the district administration has agreed to provide free temporary accommodation to start the school.
