Director Speaks

Shri G S Rawat was a karmayogi with a deep passion for education. Coming from a small Garhwal village in Uttrakhand, Shri Rawat won an Intermediate scholarship after becoming the High School district topper. With a Bachelor of Science degree from Lucknow University, he joined the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, from where he took voluntary retirement as Deputy Director after a diligent career.

Shri Rawat started his mission way back in 1945 with a Nursery School. His commitment saw him take on a twin-fold task: night classes for High School students along with intermediate for private students. With the passage of time, he formed the South Delhi Education Society (Regd.) and successfully opened a chain of public schools South Delhi Public School; Central Public School; Modern Public School; South Delhi Tiny Tots and Delhi Nursery Teachers' Training Institute.

Principal's Message

It is the dream of every parent to see their child excel in whatever they do and bring pride to them. To nurture this dream they seek the best possible education in a congenial environment.

South Delhi Public School (SDPS) encourages each student to have focus in life - a vision accompanied with idealism. To use their knowledge to strengthen and re-establish moral values which are fast depleting in our society.

SDPS, Defence Colony, is run by the South Delhi Education Society, Registered under the Societies Act 1860. It was through the initiative and leadership of the founder manager Late Shri G.S. Rawat, a philanthropist under whose aegis educational institutes were started in the year 1966.

The great Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "the function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education." **True to those profound words, education has always been the cornerstone of our mission at South Delhi Public School. Our commitment to excellence is underpinned by our unwavering belief in the transformative power of education. We understand that education goes far beyond traditional classrooms, textbooks, and examinations. It is a lifelong journey that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Our guiding principles revolve around fostering an environment of inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration. We emphasize the importance of open communication, teamwork, and personal responsibility, not only among our dedicated staff but also with our students and their parents.
