# Delhi Public School, Azad Nagar

Delhi Public School Azaad Nagar in Kanpur is a private school operating under the aegis of the Delhi Public School Society, New Delhi. It is a senior secondary school affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi.

## History

The first Delhi Public School in Kanpur was established at Servodaya Nagar in 1997. However, as the students of the primary school grew older and their need for holistic development expanded, the management felt the need for larger premises for the senior school. Consequently, DPS Azaad Nagar was established as an institution on Mainawati Marg, on a vast expanse of land. The founder Headmistress of DPS Servodaya Nagar, Rachna Mohotra, became the Principal of the Senior School at DPS Azaad Nagar. DPS Servodaya Nagar continues to function as a feeder school for DPS Azaad Nagar under the supervision and guidance of its Headmistress, Anju Verma.

## Campus

Delhi Public School Azaad Nagar is located on a sprawling, lush, green 20-acre campus. It is a co-educational day and boarding school with more than 3,000 students. The school consists of an administrative block and three academic blocks. The primary block accommodates classes from playgroup to class V, while the middle block houses classes VI to VIII. The senior block consists of classes IX to XII, offering streams in science, commerce, and the humanities. Additionally, the school includes separate, air-conditioned boys' and girls' hostels, each headed by male and female wardens, respectively. The school's infrastructure also features an amphitheater, a multipurpose hall, a floodlit playground, a gymnasium, a shooting range, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
The academic facilities at DPS Azaad Nagar include computer, physics, chemistry, biology, language, and mathematics laboratories, as well as a well-equipped library. Junior students have a separate science room and computer lab. To encourage and foster extracurricular activities, the school provides separate classrooms for music, dance, theatre, and fine arts.
