Supremacy of Saraswati Vidya Mandirs in Orissa HSC exams; 46 students in top 100 lists

Continuing their supremacy in the High School Certificate examination results, schools run by the Shiksha Vikash Samiti (SVS)- Saraswati Vidya Mandirs- showed their dominance yet again this year as 46 students of these schools cemented their positions in the top-hundred list of successful students. 

Encouraged by outstanding performances consistently for over a decade now, all the Saraswati Vidya Mandirs now aim to achieve hundred per cent results in matriculation examinations by next year. 

Established in 1956, the SVS now has nearly 600 Sishu Mandirs and Vidya Mandirs including three residential and seven tribal schools called Bana Vidyalayas across the State with combined student strength of nearly two lakh. 
About 9,000 dedicated teachers impart an integrated education in these schools with sincere commitment despite paltry remuneration ranging between Rs 500 and Rs 3,000. But this has not deterred the SVS schools from getting a phenomenal success in matriculation and other Board examinations.
This year, 120 High Schools of the Samiti were given recognition by the Board of Secondary Education for the matriculation examination.
The SVS schools have recorded almost 98 pass percentage while the overall State-wide pass percentage was only 66.75.
The unmatched performances of Saraswati Vidya Mandir students first came to limelight in 1997 when one of its students surprised the entire state by securing the top rank in the HSC examinations. Since then, the SVS students continued to book berths in the toppers' list.
In 2010, out of the 22 top ten rank holders, 12 were from SVS schools while another seven were former SVS students.
This year too, out of 24 students in top ten ranks, 14 students are from SVS schools and four are former students of these schools.
