Sahodaya School Complexes: The Concept
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:

CONSTITUTION OF SAHODAYA SAURASHTRA
1. The name of the Sahodaya Complex shall be “SAHODAYA SAURASHTRA
COMPLEX”.
2. Office of the Sahodaya School shall be the office of the President who occupies
the chair from time to time or as decided by the Members of the Sahodaya.
3. Usually, the Jurisdiction of Sahodaya Saurashtra shall be confined to its
geographical area of the member schools in Saurashtra Region, Gujarat. Hence
the Jurisdiction of a Sahodaya Saurashtra shall be confined to Saurashtra Region,
however this can be extended to other schools out of this region, if no other
Sahodaya is available in their area whose membership they can join.

1. To encourage professionalism among teachers and educational innovativeness
among institutions.

of facilitating peer interaction as well as serving as an effective channel of
communication between the schools & CBSE.
