General Colleges count in various Orissa districts – work in progress

November 24th, 2008

The left four columns(*) in the following list is based on the lists at http://orissagov.nic.in/highereducation/DistBlockWise_College_list.htm and http://orissagov.nic.in/highereducation/actsrules.htm. It seems both these lists are not up-to-date. For example, neither list has any colleges in the Boudha district. However, the Boudha district web pages mention it having 9 colleges. Using Google some of the colleges one can find in Boudha are Boudh Panchayat College and Gandharadi College. The rightmost column (**) is based on going to the district web pages and getting information there. That is also not up-to-date as in recent years numerous junior (+2) colleges have opened.

    As per the list given by you, some districts have good number of colleges while some other districts (e.g. Boudh, Deogarh, Gajapati, Jharsuguda, Kalahandi, Kandhamala, Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Nuapada, Rayagada, Sonepur, etc.) have few colleges. Moreover, some districts do not have government colleges. It is desirable that all thirty districts of Orissa should have sufficient number of colleges to meet the need of education. Government of Orissa should give attention to all the districts, instead of giving the entire importance to the state capital and few other places. All parts of the state should be given equal priority for development and progress. More attention should be given to districts that are dominated by tribal community.
