Greetings from Sanskriti Samvardhan Mandal (SSM), a village based educational institution at Nanded in Maharashtra. We are associated with Caring Friends for the past 10 years. SSM imparts school education to about 4000 rural boys and girls making it one of the largest rural residential schools in India. It is well known as ‘The School of Experiments’ in the region. The school Alumni covers almost all the villages across the Nanded district with a strong bondage of 3 generations. Our school is recognized as the most reliable and safe residential schools for the children.
Since its inception in 1959, SSM www.ssmandal.nethas been adopting modern methods of teaching and innovative technology in imparting education, time to time. With an intention to bestow computer based education its under privileged, economically below poverty line children, SSM developed huge computer labs with the help of visionaries and philanthropists.
As on this day, we can proudly say that all our 4000 plus pupils are computer literates and can work on computers independently. Another feather in the cap is, the whole staff i.e. the Teaching and non teaching staff of about 200 in number work independently on computers.
While providing a strong computer base to children, SSM leaves no stone upturned. At the same time, it needs to meet large financial requirement to meet the cost of infrastructure and maintenance. The projects like SEAL Program, Weekly webinars from American center, Mumbai and This year, we are going to arrange online examination for students and teachers. SSM is also a resource center facilitating training in computer skills to the Government employees. We are doing our best to provide the best infrastructure to the children, still we need lot more.
Considering the huge strength of our students we need set up new IT lab. We do not receive any grant from the government for the lab. We charge a small reasonable amount from the students.
