The
Chief Khalsa Diwan felt the necessity of opening
a prestigious school to meet the aspirations of
the NRIs and other parents who are keen to get
their wards educated in foreign universities after
completion of their schooling in India. So, to
meet this need, a prestigious school, under the
aegis of the Chief Khalsa Diwan, has been opened.
The foundation of the school was jointly laid
by S. Parkash Singh Badal, the Chief Minister
of Punjab, and S. Gurcharan Singh Tohra, the then
President of SGPC on October 17, 1997. The school
is spread over an area of 7 acres on Amritsar-Lahore
Bye-Pass.
The school has a sprawling campus which will provide
extensive indoor and out door facilities for the
all round development of the students. The main
features of the school are :
(a) Highly qualified staff and a competent Principal.
(b) Latest and well equipped computer lab.
(c) Spacious, airy and well lighted class rooms.
(d) Extensive facilities for games. The school
has already introduced indoor games like Basket
ball, Table Tennis and Badminton. Outdoor stadium

and ornamental plants, shrubs and trees. Beautiful
lawns have come up within a short period of time.
The beautification of the campus is an on-going
process.
(f) Day boarding facilities from class I onwards
have been introduced.
(g) Class strength has been restricted to 30 students,
so that individual attention could be paid to
the students.

and a dining room have been provided.
(i) Latest technology like Computers, TV, Cassette
player is being used to make instruction purposeful
and effective.
(j) A beautiful lobby, Gurudwara Sahib, a basement
hall, a stage-cum-activity hall have been completed.
(k) The school assembly is conducted in a manner
so as to make the students aware of the Sikh history,
culture and way of life. The teaching of the sikh
gurus is imparted to the students by creating
a conducive environment in the school campus.
(1) To ensure the all round development of the
students' personality, they are encouraged to
take part in co-curricular activities. Efforts
are made to develop qualities of head and heart,
initiative and self confidence among the students.
Future Development Plans The school aims at providing
a high standard of physical and infrastructural
facilities. A beautifully designed building is
fast coming up. Principal's residence, staff quarters,
hostel for 400 students, stadium and swimming
pool are on the blue print of the school. Once
completed, it will be land on the canvas of the
holy city of Amritsar. In the long term the Management
aims at making the school a model institution
which would inspire the confidence of the community.
Conclusion In short the Management is committed
to providing the best facilities to the school,
so that it becomes a flag bearer for the institutions
run by the Diwan. It is hoped that the product
of the school will be rooted in Sikh values and
culture. They should be proud of their heritage
and capable of leading the community in the fast
