Complex is a group of neighborhood schools who voluntarily come together to share
best practices and innovative strategies in various aspects of school education including
curriculum design, evaluation and pedagogy and also in providing support to teachers
by regular capacity building exercises. At present, there are more than 200 active
Sahodaya School Clusters across the country.

SSCs can be roped in to conduct different interschool activities in the cities in which
G20 Meetings have to be convened as mentioned below to create awareness about G20
and buzz about it in the city. The cities where there are no Sahodaya School Complexes,
there City Coordinator/Training Coordinator can arrange for
interschool/collaborative/individual activities for the intended purpose.
