The goal of the action is to achieve the “zero fail mission” for the matriculation exam.

“Students who struggle academically require special attention. We want to ensure that all schools in Odisha receive 100% results as part of the “zero fail mission,” according to Mr. Dash.

He claimed that from May until the middle of June, when students will be out of school for the summer, schools will rotate teachers out to teach classes.

Teachers do show up for rotational duty at schools even during the summer. To raise the calibre of the students, these teachers would enrol in additional courses, the minister said.
