Sahodaya, a concept literally meaning 'Rising Together' came into being in the year 1986, to facilitate synergy of ideas among the schools of CBSE family at excellence in the education. A Sahodaya School Complex is a group of neighbourhood schools voluntarily coming together to share their inn ovative practices in all aspects of school education including curriculum design, evaluation and pedagogy and also providing support services for teachers and students.

It is indeed an interactive platform for schools to deliberate upon the different policies and guidelines of the Board and provide effective feedback on their implementation to establish new benchmarks of quality. There is no doubt that much more knowledge is generated when a team or group committed to a common goal undertakes the task of re-modelling and re-fashioning in a spirit of caring and sharing. Thus Sahodaya introduces the relevance of co-operative learning and collaborative networking. This is further facilitated by the annual Sahodaya Conference held every year to critically examine the relevant issues and evolve a viable and effective framework of action.

A futuristic vision of schooling needs to embrace various sections of society with a view to establishing social justice in term of equility of oppurtunities. Education must fight against any inequity and respond to social, cultural, emotional and economic needs of a learner. The board as leader and change agent in schooling needs to move from opposition of exclusive education to inclusive education to bridge the gap between different segments of student population. The Central Board of Secondary Education has believed in the concept of caring and sharing which is the spirit that symbolizes the Sahodaya Movement
