      "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?",
      "a": "Most reputable schools in Sundargarh run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties.

      "q": "What is the average HOD Science salary in Sundargarh?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD Science roles in Sundargarh. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base."
