Despite considerable progress in recent years, Odisha faces social, regional, and gender disparities in education and this gap becomes wider in tribal and other backward regions of the state. Approximately 55% blocks in Odisha face challenges regarding retention and schooling quality and have been identified as Educationally Backward Blocks (EBBs).
To bring quality schooling to children, Aspire in partnership with Tata Steel Foundation began the Education Signature Program (ESP) in Odisha in Jan 2015 in 3 tribal dominated districts.

Implementation History

ESP began in six blocks of three different districts of Odisha: Koira & Kutra in Sundargarh, Danagadi & Sukinda in Jajpur, and Harichandanpur & Joda in Keonjhar district. In October 2019, the Program was scaled up to cover the entire Keonjhar district, reaching 11 new blocks. In 2021, Hindol block in Dhenkanal district was added.
