Sri Guru Harkrishan Public School, Nasarke in Gurdaspur District is situated in a remote rural setting on Fatehgarh Churian-Batala road. The school was initially started jointly by the village Panchayats of Nasarke and Sarchur with the active support of the residents of these villages. S. Bhupinder Singh Mann, an Ex.MP, donated Rs. One Lakh for the construction of the school building. Later on, the school was handed over to the Chief Khalsa Diwan, Amritsar, for imparting quality education on modern lines. The medium of instruction is English, but, equal stress is laid on the teaching of Punjabi language, Sikh history and culture.

The school, still in its infancy, has four newly constructed rooms on one acre of land donated by the village Panchayat. The rooms are spacious and airy. There are about 250 students on its rolls from Nursery to IX Std. There are 13 qualified and dedicated members of the teaching staff. Sports are given due importance in the school curriculum. Adequate sports facilities are being provided to the students for participation in different games. The school encourages the students to participate in co-curricular activities to bring out their hidden potential. Various cultural activities like drama, songs, dances and Gurbani competitions are organized in the school from time to time. On the request of the local population, the matter regarding up-grading the school upto X Std. is under active consideration of the Management. However, getting well qualified and competent staff from urban areas is a serious problem.

The school would be affiliated to the Punjab School Education Board, Mohali, for which requisite facilities are being created in the school. Mahant Santokh Dass Ji of Aliwal has offered financial assistance to the poor and intelligent students. He has also promised to raise funds for the development of the school. The Management of the school is planning to start computer classes in the school in the near future. Sri Guru Harkrishan Public School, Attari is a co-educational institution offering education from prc-Nursery to VIII Std. It is being run in a Gurdwara complex donated by S. Harinderpal Singh Sidhu and a family of Attari for establishing an English medium Public School for the upliftment of the educationally backward area of this Indo-Pak border belt. With this objective in view, the school was started on January 28,1997 by the Chief Khalsa Diwan, Amritsar. The school is situated near the famous railway station, Attari, known as the 'Gateway of India' at a distance of 26 km. from Amritsar and 1 km short of Wagha Border. At present, the school campus consists of 14 airy, well-ventilated and spacious rooms, the Principal's office and the Staff room. There is a Gurdwara in the centre of the building which is dedicated to the Sikh community.

The school has a spacious play ground for different games and sports. Facilities for indoor games like chess, ludo, carrom etc. are provided to the students. Keeping in view that the teacher is a torch-bearer for the students, the school has appointed a team of 20 qualified and trained teachers who are imparting education by adopting the latest methodology and F innovative techniques. The total strength of students in the school is 430 and the number of students in each class/section is kept within a manageable limit, so that each student receives adequate and individual attention. The school provides a conducive environment for the harmonious development of the child's personality.

The school is to be affiliated to the Punjab School Education Board, Mohali and the requisite minimum facilities are being created for the same. It is generally said, "A sound mind lives in a sound body". So, outdoor activities i.e. games and sports are an integral part of education, in order to make a child physically and mentally sound. This also involves team spirit, sportsmanship, co-operation and discipline. Our students actively participate in inter-school competitions. Facilities for the development of art and craft to channelise the creative ability are provided lo the students. Mere accumulation of knowledge is not enough in life. Proper and well-organized co-curricular activities are just as important as the formal educational instructions for the overall development of the students.

The school provides various facilities for regular co-curricular activities. Inter-school competitions such as science quiz and science exhibition poetic recitation and painting competitions etc. are an integral part of the curriculum. Besides imparting quality education, equal emphasis is laid on the teaching of Sikh religion, history and culture and teaching of Punjabi language. The school celebrates the Gurpurbs of Sikh gurus, especially Guru Gobind Singh Ji. During the Nagar Kirtan the students and staff salute the Samadhi of great General of Khalsa Raj S. Sham Singh Attari. The school not only offers good education, but also undertakes social service for the welfare of the people of this area such as organizing medical camps and mass marriages of poor girls. The school also arranges "Chhabeels" of cold water for the pilgrims coming from and going to Pakistan. The school Management is trying to purchase 2 acres of land adjacent to the present site of the school to provide a new building on modern lines having spacious class rooms, a library, well equipped laboratories, a high-tech computer room and an audio-visual room. The school Management is keen to make it a model Public School.
