From

The Principal’s Desk

We live in an age of radical changes in all the spheres

of life. 21st century has brought in more challenging

posers. The question is how to deal with the onslaught of

issues which beset our minds and calls for urgent

solutions. Under the circumstances, a sound value based

education seems to be the only route of escape.

By education we do not simply mean a set of

instruction to be imparted in the classroom. Education is

a big and broad word which has profound significance.

Modern interpretation of education is verging upon

holistic approach and our collective endeavor at DPS

Bopal is to instill the principle which nourishes the body

and mind.
