Odisha introduced the ‘Aame Padhiba Aama Bhasare’ scheme as a five-year initiative aimed at strengthening early childhood education by using mother tongues as the medium of learning for children aged three to six years. The programme initially focuses on tribal languages across six districts and relies on trained anganwadi workers supported by audio-visual teaching tools. Alongside this education-focused effort, Odisha also implemented complementary social initiatives, including a 100-day campaign against child marriage and a pilot programme to prevent teenage pregnancy and support young mothers.
