Massive Challenge! Free Education Plan Puts 1200 Odisha Colleges Under Pressure [CFDhXlIu6JJ]

Is free education becoming a financial nightmare for colleges? Big questions arise! Over 1200 colleges face uncertainty as Odisha’s bold policy sparks debate. The Odisha government’s ‘KG to PG free education’ announcement has triggered a major discussion across the state. While the move aims to support students, it has created serious financial concerns for more than 1200 aided colleges that depend on student fees for survival. With annual revenues of ₹30–60 lakh per college at stake, institutions fear challenges in paying electricity bills, maintenance costs, and salaries of guest lecturers. Experts estimate a burden of ₹350–400 crore on the state treasury if the government fully compensates. #Odisha #Education #FreeEducation #CollegeCrisis #KGtoPG #OdishaNews #ViralNews #IndiaEducation #Students #PolicyDebate #Trending #Government #NewsUpdate #india Join this channel to get access to perks: Kanak News2 is Odisha's leading 24x7 news and current affairs TV channel from Eastern Media Limited.
