Principal’s Welcome
Albert Einstein says, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one haslearnt in school. ”What sculpture is to block of marble, education is toman and that isprecisely what we aspire for. Today the role of school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers and productive members of a never-changing global society. We believe in a joyful experiential learning system wherein, each child is encouraged to participate wholeheartedly. At Anna Adarsh, we leave no stone unturned to offer multitudes of opportunities to our children; it is for them to make the most of it. Children are motivated to grab every opportunity that comes their way which would not only help in holistic growth but also strengthen their belief in teamwork, which is essential in this fast paced world.
We believe in empowering our students in such a manner that they act as representatives of a value based society. We have a team of fabulous faculty members who display boundless energy and intense commitment which holds the ethos high. Focusing on specific goals, helps the students to raise to greater heights in life. They would thus have the pleasure of watching their dreams come true. The parents are the most strengthening power in moulding the future of children. They offer roots and we offer wings. With the strong collaboration of home and school, our students emerge as competent citizens to shoulder the responsibilities in all walks of life.
“Let us keep alive the child’s inborn sense of wonder; let us arouse their curiosity to discover the mystery of the world we live in!”

Adarsh Group of Schools
Adarsh group of schools is managed by The Punjab Association. The Punjab Association owes an irredeemable debt of gratitude to its Founder President, the late Lt.Col. Gurdial Singh Gill and the late General Secretary Shri P.N. Dhawan, who during their unbroken stewardship marked by keen insight, far-sighted vision and crusading spirit, had amazingly built up a stupendous service structure of many actively working units devoted to serve the cause of Education, Medicare, Social Service and Rural Welfare. The idea of Shri P.N. Dhawan at a meet of 5 families on 01.12.1937 to form an Association has miraculously transformed into a major Social Service Organization viz. The Punjab Association.
