In the 2026 Higher Secondary exams, Ramakrishna Mission schools dominated the merit list. Out of 64 students in the top ten, 35 are from Narendrapur and Purulia RK Mission branches. Adrit Pal from Narendrapur RKM secured the first rank with 496 marks. Headmaster Swami Ishteshananda attributed this success to a smartphone-free residential environment, which prevents distractions and fosters hard work, though students retain internet access for studies in the library. https://eisamay.com/job-education-news/hs-result-2026-narendrapur-ramakrishna-mission-18-students-in-top-10-they-dont-use-smartphone/200500641.cms #creator program
