The High School Certificate examinations in Orissa have thrown up a surprise result—hundreds of Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandirs (SVM) have performed exceptionally well with 44 of the top 102 students coming from the Sangh Parivar-run school network. As many as seven of the top 10 ranks are from SVMs.
While Bibek Bishal Mehena from Saraswati Vidya Mandir in Rourkela secured the top rank, Sanket Dash of Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir in Berhampur town and Ansuman Tripathy of Saraswati Vidya Mandir in Bolangir secured the second and third positions respectively in the results declared on Tuesday. Last year too, these RSS-run schools had done well with 15 of its students securing top-20 positions. Trends over the past six years have shown that SVMs generally do better than other schools in the state.
From humble beginnings in 1978, the march of these RSS-run schools is a success story that has not been highlighted much. Today, there are over 11,000 Acharyas and Gurumas (teachers) in 739 SVMs across the state who live a no-frills life to teach 1.8 lakh students from kindergarten to Class XII for a pittance.

Thanks.. I'm starting to donate to these temples of learning soon.. Do you have any info on how to proceed?
Shouldn't temple donations get directed to this enterprise?
What this fuss is about? High score of aping the macaulay education?
Probably a reward of being the perfect apes, far exceeding the original ape..
The need of the hour is to first unlearn ourselves from these bullshits..
Instead of boasting like this (ofcourse, a result of inferiority complex), we need to better focus on how an education should be for us.. is it only mark based, or knowledge based or character based?
Has these RSS people ever thought of this.. interestingly they talk about swadheshi, past glories, but never care to think on how to revive..
They are only paper tigers..
