It’s a double bonanza for Adani Vidya Mandir Ahmedabad (AVMA), which has been
transforming lives of academically gifted yet economically disadvantaged students
since 2008.
Coinciding with the announcement of the Central Board of Secondary Education’s
(CBSE) Grade XII results on May 13, AVMA has scored a commendable 232 out of
250, joining the league of top-tier schools in the country and topping the list among
institutions for the underprivileged category.
This is as per the latest rating by the National Accreditation Board for Education
and Training (NABET) under Quality Council of India (QCI).
Earlier in 2020, AVMA became the first cost-free school in the country to get
accredited by NABET under QCI.
The latest accomplishment is in line with Adani Foundation’s mission to provide
inclusive, high-quality education while fostering holistic development.
The CBSE Grade XII results are the icing on the NABET cake. AVMA recorded a
stellar 100% pass rate, with all 95 candidates securing first division. Alvina Roy andJay Bavaskar scored 97.6% each in Humanities and Science stream, respectively.
In February, AVMA was adjudged the ‘National Winner’ in the category of ‘School
for Underprivileged/Right to Education (RTE) Implementation’ and received the
‘Samagra Shiksha Award’ from Dr Sukanata Majumdar, Minister of State for
Education.
AVMA integrates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were adopted
by the United Nations in 2015, into its curriculum, ensuring a global perspective in
its pedagogical approach. The school also collaborates with esteemed
organisations such as United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund
(UNICEF), Gujarat Science Centre and National Institute of Education (NIE)
Singapore, focusing on developing STEM (science, technology, engineering and
mathematics) curricula tailored specifically to the Indian context over the past
three years.Among AVMA’s noteworthy recognitions are the International Green School Award
by Green Mentors, presented at Cornell University, New York, USA; and its
certification as a ‘Kindness School’ by Random Acts of Kindness. These accolades
epitomise the school’s dedication to environmental stewardship and fostering
kindness as integral aspects of education.
