1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 School History

The story of Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan began way back in 1953 at King Edward Road, now
Maulana Azad Road (MAR). In the MAR Officers’ Hostel, a group of enterprising officers’ wives decided
to start a school with 35 students in Nursery and KG. Mrs. Mercy Benjamin was its first Principal. In
1962, Mr AET Barrow inspected the school and accorded it recognition for affiliation to ISC. The school
now, has around 5000 students and 200 teachers on its roll. The school is run under the aegis of the Army
Welfare Education Society. More than 67 years have elapsed since the school was initially raised, and 49
years since it moved to its present location.
The foundation of the school at Dhaula Kuan was laid in 1964 by Shri YB Chavan, the then Defence
Minister. In 1966 the school was renamed Defence Services Public School and by 1971 it had 600
students, 32 teachers, and Lt Col AW Shaw (Retd) was its Principal. The school shifted to its present
location in 1971. The main block, as we know it today, was the only building at that time, and the school
had 16 staff quarters and a girls’ hostel, which now functions as the Ridgewood Boys’ Hostel.
Initially, the school was run by the three services. However, from 1976, the name was changed to Army
Public School, with the Army running the school. Another change that occurred was the change in the
school motto from ‘Learn to obey’ to ‘Truth is God.’ As we take you through a brief tour via the portals of
APS, DK it must suffice to say that we march ahead on the straight but narrow path that will give India
worthy citizens, with our feet firmly on the ground, our heads held high and our hearts beating with patriotic
fervour.
1.2 Vision: Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan, endeavours to groom students into refined and
disciplined global citizens, who can blend socially and culturally in a multi-faceted society.
1.3 Mission: To create an inspiring & stimulating learning environment for all children. To offer
abundant opportunities for the children to:
(a) Imbibe morals and values.
(b) Progressively engage to enhance respect and concern towards the environment.
(c) To inculcate a fervour & pride for the nation.
(d) Sharpen personal and social skills.
(e) Fulfil academic, cultural and sporting potential.
(f) Kindle in the young minds a fervour of curiosity, mental flexibility, individuality and strength of
will while respecting the cultural, religious, gender and economic diversity.
(g) Ensure inclusive & equitable quality education & promote life-long learning for all.

5.6 Recruitment of War Widows: In order to rehabilitate widows of martyred Army personnel
and to provide them some relief, various policy concessions and privileges have been accorded for their
recruitment in the Army Public Schools. Same is documented in AWES Red book para 337(a).
5.7 OSAPS: The School has a natural talent for breeding pioneers and champions in every field.
Today it holds its head high, for its students have carved a niche in fields as diverse as media, sports,
business and the field of literature, art and culture. From ex-IITians and Hardvardians to sportsmen of
international repute, the School can also boast of media artistes and fashion designers. Time and again, the
School has been giving the Indian Defence Services many of its glittering jewels - soldiers who are tough
but sensitive, unyielding in their integrity and patriotism. Many of the alumni in the Defence Services have
sacrificed their lives for the nation. The Old Students Associations of the Army Public School , a Registered
Body with Mrs. Shakuntala Davesar of the 1965 Batch as the executive President, was set up with the aim
of inculcating a feeling of fraternity amongst the ex-students and generating a sense of belonging towards
their Alma Mater. The association endeavours to increase its strength and its executive body shows a keen
interest in furthering its activities.
