NILANCHALA RAJHANS

Abstract

Odisha Adarsha Vidyalayas (OAVs) is an innovative experiment by the government of Odisha, which began operation in the 2015-16 academic year. OAVS is committed to providing quality education to rural and disadvantaged students through residential schooling. Nowadays, OAV is in the limelight for its academic success and extracurricular achievements nationwide. This study examines the five-year trend in academic performance at OAVs. It uses data from BSE Odisha examination results, UDISE+ school statistics, and official OAV reports. A descriptive design and trend analysis approach helped explore overall pass percentages, subject achievement, and performance by gender from 2019-20 to 2024-25. The findings reveal consistent improvement in academic outcomes, with pass rates rising over time. English is the top subject, while Mathematics has shown the most significant gains. Girls performed slightly better than boys over the five years, indicating stable gender patterns. The study finds that OAVs have truly boosted academic excellence, and it’s clear that some districts might need a little more support to reach their full potential.
