The results of the higher secondary and secondary school examinations conducted by CBSE were announced recently. The performance of the students of Shoshit Samadhan Kendra was indeed commendable. Out of the seven students who appeared for class XII examinations, all except one obtained first division. One out of the seven scored 59% missing his first division by a narrow margin.
The performance of SSK students in class X was even better. Out of the 14 boys who appeared 2 scored a perfect 10 CGPA while 5 students got 9 and above CGPA. The average was 8.8 CGPA which would compare favorably with the better schools in India. The students of SSK are all first generation learners coming from families who are among the poorest of the poor. The results are indeed heartening and buttresses the vision of Shoshit Seva Sangh that given the opportunity the students of SSK can surely make a quantum jump in life and become catalysts of change in their community.
A team from Bollywood had conducted a workshop on film making in the school in December, 2016. The students made two short films entitled ‘Zindagi EK Deal’ and ‘Lothwa’. These two films alongwith a few films produced by some other schools for underprivileged children were screened in a film festival in Mumbai. The Jury comprised celebrities of Bollywood. The films produced by the students of SSK won the ‘best actor’ and the ‘best screenplay’ awards. Special mention was made of the two films produced by SSK students by some member of the Jury.
