Damanjodi schools
Damanjodi has 2 schools in the Nalco township premise. One is for Odia medium and other is CBSE medium. One is Saraswati Vidya Mandir and Other is DPS. Till 2006 or 2007, SVM was considered as better, but now most of the employees are preferring DPS.
SVM Damanjodi
Initially there were three branches of Saraswati vidya Mandir. Two branches were only for primary school and the main school was for secondary and higher secondary education.
One primary school was in sector 3 and other one was there in sector 2. Initially sector 3 primary school was a part of Chinmaya Mission and then named as SVM.
Now these 2 primary schools has been merged with the high school. The main school is now in sector 1 and serving primary to higher secondary classes.
As far as my understanding says, the quality of education has been significantly dropped in recent years. Most of the students in SVM are from Amlabadi, Bhejaput and Mathalput.
Still the standard of education in SVM is better than the near by schools (Outside the township). One good school out side the township is Sri Aurobindo Vidyalaya.
SVM school has a huge playground along with a basketball court and a handball court. There is a garden inside the school premises, which has mango trees and many other medicinal plant.
There is a good library in the school, one room for learning art and craft. Here students learns many different social things along with study. Every morning students from all class gathers in the auditorium for prayer.
Behind the auditorium, there is a a small canteen. Students and teachers can have their lunch and snacks in the canteen. You can find a bike stand near the canteen, this stand is primarily for staffs only.
DPS Damanjodi
Delhi Public school is one of the best school in Odisha. The standard of education, amenities, laboratories and teachers of DPS is much higher compared to SVM.
Most of the parents now preferring DPS for their children. It is in sector 3. Areas near DPS has developed to a new level recently. There is a new market complex near DPS.
Recently NAlCO has developed a new sector near DPS, which is having quarters dedicated to top level employees and doctors. Also there is a GET hostel located near DPS.
This school follows the CBSE pattern and only school in the area to do so.
DPS has a very good infrastructure with well maintained class room, quality teachers and library. There is a big playground and a park inside the school premises.
The school is having a big playground, which facilitate to place football, cricket etc.
