In the serene hill town of Almora, a remarkable academic story has once again captured attention across Uttarakhand. Vivekananda Inter College, Ranidhara, has delivered an outstanding performance in the state board examinations, reaffirming its reputation as one of the region’s leading institutions. This year’s results are not just numbers—they reflect discipline, dedication, and a culture of excellence nurtured within the school.
The High School results have been particularly impressive, with 232 students appearing and an exceptional pass percentage of 98.2%. At the Intermediate level, 188 students took the exam, achieving a strong 93% success rate. These figures highlight the consistent academic strength of the institution and its commitment to quality education.
What truly sets this achievement apart is the presence of multiple students in the state merit list. In High School, four students secured positions in the state rankings, with Aarushi Banaula emerging as a standout performer. She secured 477 out of 500 marks, earning a prestigious 8th rank in the state. Her subject-wise excellence—99 in Hindi, 96 in Sanskrit, 93 each in Mathematics and Science, 96 in Social Science, and 82 in English—demonstrates both consistency and depth of understanding.
Aarushi’s success story is one of determination and focus. Coming from a supportive family—her father Bhupal Singh and mother Chandra Devi—she exemplifies how encouragement at home combined with strong academic guidance can lead to exceptional results. Her achievement has become a source of pride not only for her school but for the entire Almora region.
Other High School achievers also made their mark. Umang Bisht secured the 19th rank, Tanuj Tiwari achieved the 22nd position, and Nikhil Gururani stood at the 25th rank in the state merit list. Together, these students reflect the depth of talent within the institution.
At the Intermediate level, the success story continued. Six students from the school secured positions in the state merit list. Priyanshu Pathak led the group with a commendable 10th rank, followed by Rahul Rautela at 13th. Ayush Adhikari and Dhananjay Bhatt jointly secured the 20th position, while Priyanshu Gaida and Gautam Kanwal achieved the 22nd and 25th ranks respectively.
School authorities credited this achievement to a balanced ecosystem of hard work, discipline, and mentorship. The principal emphasized that the institution focuses not only on academic excellence but also on character building and value-based education. According to the faculty, regular practice, conceptual clarity, and continuous assessment have played key roles in shaping these results.
The success has created a wave of celebration in the Ranidhara area, with parents and local residents expressing pride in the students’ accomplishments. Many see this as proof that students from smaller towns, when given the right environment and guidance, can compete at the highest levels.
Education experts note that such performances contribute to raising the academic profile of the entire district. Schools like Vivekananda Inter College serve as inspiration, demonstrating that consistent effort and a focused approach can lead to remarkable outcomes.
Beyond rankings and percentages, this achievement tells a deeper story—one of perseverance, community support, and the transformative power of education. As these students step into the next phase of their academic journeys, they carry with them not just marksheets, but the confidence to aim higher.
Vivekananda Inter College, Ranidhara, has once again proven that excellence is not an accident—it is a tradition built over time.
