Sited on a green 12-acre campus in Nagpur (pop.2.5 million) — Maharashtra’s third largest city — Delhi Public School, Mihan, (DPS Mihan, estb.2018) has quickly established a sterling reputation for progressive K-10 education provision. Within the short span of four years, this CBSE-affiliated co-ed day school has emerged as one of the orange city’s premier schools admired for dispensing rigorous academic and excellent sports and co-curricular education to its 1,300 students mentored by 75 teachers. In the latest EducationWorld India School Rankings 2021-22, DPS Mihan is ranked #4 in Nagpur and among Maharashtra’s Top 40 co-ed day schools. Moreover, in the EducationWorld Grand Jury Awards 2021-22, it was adjudged Maharashtra’s #1 Emerging High-Potential School. The promoter of DPS Mihan is the Chattisgarh-based Shri Chiranjilal Bajoria Education Society (regd.2004). In 2006, the society promoted its first school — DPS, Kamptee Road, ranked Nagpur’s #1 co-ed day school in the EWISR 2021-22. With the group’s flagship school unable to meet the growing demand for admission, DPS Mihan was promoted in 2018. Currently, the two schools have an aggregate enrolment of 4,600 students mentored by 250 teachers. Philanthropist Tulika Kedia, preident of Sri Chiranjilal Bajoria Education Society and pro vice chairperson of DPS Mihan, is delighted with the school’s quick growth and acceptance by the public. “Our objective is provision of a safe, stimulating and joyous learning environment where children acquire the skills and knowledge to become successful, sensitive and responsible global citizens. My several years of experience in primary-secondary education has made me acutely aware that we need a renaissance in K-12 education for sustained social transformation and national development. The new generation isn’t satisfied with mere regurgitation of information. Today’s tech enabled children are anxious to develop higher order thinking skills to solve the nation’s problems, and to aid and enable the less privileged. Therefore at DPS Mihan, the curriculum develops students’ intelligence and emotional quotient while providing world-class academics and pedagogies supplemented with fine arts, performing arts, culture, environment and sports education,” says Kedia, an alumna of La Martiniere for Girls, Kolkata and Delhi University, and a well-known art patron and collector of indigenous tribal art. To enable DPS Mihan to attain its objective of delivering superior holistic education, the society’s management led by Kedia has spared no expense in installing world-class facilities for academic, sports and co-curricular education. The school’s verdant 12-acre campus hosts two academic blocks comprising 48 well-ventilated classrooms equipped with Smart boards and latest digital technologies, four modern science, two computer and math labs and a library housing over 10,000 volumes. The campus has been specially designed to provide joyful learning spaces for pre-primary children including theme-based classrooms, jungle gym, sensory botanical garden and child-friendly indoor and outdoor play areas. The school’s state-of-the-art performing arts facility — ‘Artist Village’ — comprising dance, art and music studios, art gallery, five acoustically enhanced practice rooms and a 400-seat amphitheater, is a unique campus feature.
