Sahodaya, a concept literally meaning ‘’Rising Together’ came into being in the year 1986, to facilitate the synergy of ideas among the schools of CBSE for excellence in education. A Sahodaya School Complex is a group of neighbourhod schools voluntarily coming together to share their innovative practices in all aspects of school education including curriculum design, evaluation, and pedagogy and also providing support services for teachers and students. It is indeed an interactive platform for schools to deliberate upon the different policies and guidelines of the board and provides effective feedback on their implementation to establish new benchmarks of quality. There is no doubt that much more knowledge is generated when a team or group committed to a common goal undertakes the task of remodelling and refashioning in a spirit of caring and sharing. Thus Sahodaya introduces the relevance of cooperative learning and collaborative networking.
It is a unique platform for all CBSE-affiliated schools to share their experience and to work jointly for scholastic and co-scholastic excellence. In 1987, CBSE brought out a publication titled, “Freedom to learn and freedom to grow through Sahodaya School Complexes” (SSCs) which characterized “SSCs” as a voluntary association of schools in a given area, who through mutual choices, have agreed to come together for a systematic and system-wide renewal of the total educational process. In other words as “Sahodaya” signifies rising together, it identified six areas, to begin with, for collaboration amongst schools of its complex:

1. Educative Management
2. Evaluation
3. Human Resource Mobilization
4. Professional growth of teachers
5. Value-oriented school climate
6. Vocationalisation of education

Message From the Desk of Treasurer, GSSA

Dr. Salil K Srivastava
(Treasurer, GSSA)

Gorakhpur Sahodaya School’s Association popularly known as GSSA came into existence in the year 2013 with 28 schools joining hand in hand to constitute a forum for cooperation and mutual assistance among CBSE affiliated schools of Gorakhpur and nearby districts. GSSA now is a family of more than 70+ schools with a shared vision of ‘Rising Together’ . No doubt that all the GSSA affiliated schools are tough competition for each other but when they come under the umbrella of GSSA, it is ONE BIG FAMILY with a single goal of achieving excellence be it in the field of academic or sports or the co-curricular activities. GSSA from its inception gave a bigger platform to all the students and school to showcase their potential. Innate intelligence functions with ease amidst love, harmony and freedom and when all such positivity work together – success is created. This philosophy propels GSSA towards conceptualized, personalized and connected with life learning. The Principals with the support of Management of different schools’ work as a team to make dreams of GSSA take shape of realities. GSSA works to serve the cause of education , for the betterment of the coming generation so that they live in a world “where knowledge is free and the head is held high”, “where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls” and “the clear stream of reasoning has not lost its way” . As a treasurer, I have to administer and maintain the records of fee and funds and income and expenditure to keep the financial affairs systematic to progress the working of GSSA effectively. It is a huge responsibility to act as a treasurer of GSSA, but the unconditional support of all its members i.e., principals from different schools makes it a smooth and easy task. I pray for the success and progress of GSSA and wish that this association will march ahead always.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
