What’s in a Name? Everything, say Odisha villagers over school renaming

A hunger strike by Bharatiya Bikash Parishad and locals in Khandapada block demands renaming of Rajakiari Primary School to Kanasing Primary School, reflecting village identity. The protestors are opposed to the current name, ‘Rajakiari Primary School’, which they say disconnects the educational institution from its community roots. BDO Ankur Abhilash assures consideration.
