Excluding 'Odia' From Teachers Training Course Creates Dissent: Odisha
Political parties in Odisha such as Biju Janta Dal, BJP, and Congress urged the Jharkhand government not to exclude Odia language from the Teachers Training course's curriculum because it's created dissent ''among the Odia speaking people in Jharkhand.'' Reportedly, Jharkhand Academic Council on September 20 excluded Odia from its new curriculum for primary teachers training. Furthermore, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also requested Jharkhand's CM to resolve the issue.
