The Kozhikode district panchayat has officially launched its flagship educational initiative, ‘Vidyodaya’, as part of its annual plan for the 2026-27 financial year.

K. Jayanth, MLA, inaugurated the project at a function held at the District Planning Committee secretariat conference hall on Wednesday (November 11, 2026). District panchayat president Milli Mohan presided over the function.

Conceived as a continuation of the successfully executed ‘Sajjam’ project, ‘Vidyodaya’ aims to bolster the public education sector and elevate academic standards across high school and higher secondary levels through timely reforms.

Alongside academic enhancements, the scheme incorporates an ‘effective parenting programme’ and the establishment of ‘She Rooms’ for female students in schools across the district.

District panchayat vice-president K.K. Nawaz, education standing committee chairperson Muneer Eravath, District Educational Officer Shahal Hameed, and education faculty member K.M. Nazeer were present.

The teacher orientation workshop was led by T. Saleem, coordinator of the Malappuram district panchayat’s ‘Vijayabheri’ project.
