Education
Sri Dasmesh Academy, located near Anandpur Sahib in Punjab’s Rupnagar district, is a premier residential and day-boarding school affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Established in 1980, the Academy operates under the guidance of the Sri Dasmesh Academy Trust, with the foundational vision laid by Sardar Parkash Singh Badal, former Chief Minister of Punjab. The institution is also a proud member of the Indian Public Schools' Conference (IPSC) and holds ISO 9001:2008 certification.
Nestled in the serene foothills of the Shivalik range, the school campus spans over 160 acres, offering a peaceful and expansive environment for learning. Sri Dasmesh Academy blends traditional Indian values with modern education, aiming to develop students holistically—intellectually, physically, and morally. Inspired by the Sikh principle of Chardikala (eternal optimism and resilience), the Academy focuses on building character, leadership, discipline, and a spirit of service.
The Academy provides education from primary grades up to Class XII, following the CBSE curriculum. In addition to core academic subjects, the school emphasizes physical education, arts, music, and leadership development. A unique feature of the institution is its structured preparation program for the National Defence Academy (NDA) and other armed forces careers, instilling discipline and national pride among students.
The campus is equipped with modern amenities including smart classrooms, science and computer labs, a well-stocked library, sports grounds, a gymnasium, swimming pool, auditorium, and hostel facilities. Students actively participate in co-curricular activities such as aero-modeling, sculpture, gardening, cultural programs, and inter-house competitions, encouraging creativity and teamwork.
Under the leadership of Major General J.S. Ghuman (Retd.), Director, and Dr. Sonu Walia, Principal, the Academy continues to produce well-rounded individuals, many of whom have gone on to serve in the armed forces, civil services, and other distinguished professions.
With a legacy of discipline, integrity, and academic excellence, Sri Dasmesh Academy remains a beacon of value-based education in India.
