The programme is based on five factors on which the performance of government officials and projects are judged. The five factors include teamwork, technology, transparency, transformation, and time limit. 

According to a statement issued by the Odisha government, the transformation is being done to provide better education and content to children which will help in the overall transformation of high school education in the state.

The state government said that the overall programme was completed in a record time and in the most transparent manner. Earlier, on 15 August and 16 August, VK Pandian, Secretary 5T,  Government of Odisha, visited these schools and reviewed the overall work progress.
