School-Campus

The Delhi public school, Srinagar is the first private school affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (C.B.S.E) the school is put up by the D.P. Dhar Memorial Trust in the name of Late Shri D.P.Dhar who was a public figure of eminence; he was unfortunately snatched away at the peak of his public service career, on 12th June 1975, when he was only 56 years of age Late Shri D.P. Dhar held various ministerial appointments in the state of Jammu & Kashmir and the union cabinet as also diplomatic assignments to the then U.S.S.R at a time when India had historic relation ship with the U.S.S.R and signed the Indo soviet Friendship treaty.

Late shri D.P.Dhar is more known for his philanthropy, his dedication to the people of Jammu & Kashmir state and above all for his untiring efforts and total commitment to the cause of Integration of Jammu & Kashmir state with the rest of India. He was of firm belief that the best way to integrate the state of Jammu & Kashmir with the rest of country was to strengthen the socio – economic fabric of the state, by making the people of Kashmir self reliant, industrious and proud of their ‘Kashmiriyat’. It is in this backdrop that he envisioned Education as an essential instrument to achieve these goals.

To honour the memory of Late Shri D.P.Dhar and to complete the unfinished task left by him the family and friends decided to constitute a public trust with the initial corpus to be contributed by the family members only. The principal objective of this trust was to set up a full fledged school from class LKG to class XII affiliated to the central Board of Secondary Education (C.B.S.E). The school known as Delhi Public School Srinagar was started 10th march 2003 and Delhi Public school society Delhi which runs over 150 schools in India and abroad gratefully accepted to help.
