The document summarizes the Enrollment & Retention Mission launched in Mayurbhanj district, Odisha called "Mu Bi Padhibi" (I will also read). It aims to enroll all out-of-school children ages 6-14 through community involvement. Over 5,000 never-enrolled and dropout children were identified and enrolled in formal schools or residential centers. A monitoring system was established and retention strategies were implemented, such as hiring local tribal youth educators and developing bi-lingual learning materials. The future strategy is to ensure no children remain out of school and attendance increases above 90% through continued monitoring and community engagement.
