How many DM school bhubaneswar alumni here, do share to increase awareness: DM SCHOOL: WHY REPLACE A 62-YEAR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT THAT WAS BUILT TO LEAD?
Bhubaneswar’s Demonstration Multipurpose School (DM School) is facing a proposed transfer/merger with the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), triggering opposition from students, parents and alumni. The proposal concerns four PM SHRI Demonstration Multipurpose Schools across India, including Bhubaneswar. An NCERT order dated August 7, 2026 constituted a committee to work out the modalities for handing over the four schools to KVS.
But there is an important question for Odisha:
Why should an institution created specifically to experiment, demonstrate and improve school education simply become another school in a larger system?
DM School is not an ordinary school
Established in 1964, DM School Bhubaneswar is officially described by RIE Bhubaneswar as the first CBSE-affiliated school in Odisha and a premier institution in the Eastern Region. It is an integral part of the Regional Institute of Education, Bhubaneswar.
Kendriya Vidyalayas have their own important role.
DM School has a different one.
Instead of asking “Which school is better?”, perhaps the bigger question is:
“Why merge two different educational models when Odisha can preserve both—and make DM School even stronger?”
DM School has been part of Bhubaneswar's educational history since 1964.
A school created to experiment with the future of education should not become a casualty of administrative restructuring.
Save the identity. Strengthen the institution. Let DM School continue to demonstrate what India's schools can become.

जो शाल भर में नहीं हुआ, क्या वह परीक्षा के तीन दिन पहले हो पायेगा? @BBSR_DMS @riebbsr@ncert के हिंदी शिक्षक CBSE १०वी परीक्षा के तीन दिन पहले छात्राओं को बुला कर कोर्स खतम कर रहे हैं। अगर छात्राओं के परीक्षा ठीक नहीं गया तो इसका जिम्मेदारी कौन लेगा?
@sofiafirdous1 Many questions asked and many clarifications made. Of course Odisha is doing a very good work in managing disasters, but the so called 5T model is overarching other institutions diminishing their position in the governance system.
My worry is for the future leaders of Odisha.
@soumyajitt@Naveen_Odisha What is the purpose of this video I do not understand. He is saying ମୁଖ୍ୟମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ପଠେଇଛନ୍ତି!?
Where is @bjd_odisha second line leadership? I believe all of them must be visiting the hospitals & attending the affected. Please post your video saying ମୁଖ୍ୟମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ପଠେଇଛନ୍ତି.
@kanak_news Absolutely appalled by the decision of Odisha Govt to sell liquor on sea beaches through OTDC. This move not only harms the environment but also sets a wrong example for the society. We must stand against such actions and protect our beaches! #SaveSeaBeaches#NoToLiquorOnBeaches
@Sushree_journo Do not carried away by this propaganda war. It's a pseudo war to create demand for weapons across EU and NATO countries. Just check who are the suppliers 😀😀
