About
Project for a new Army Public School was conceived by GOC Delhi Area in 1995 in view of the increasing demand of the Army Personnel posted in / around Delhi.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) released 14 acre of Defence Land for the school project in Area of Vasant Range called Mahipal Pur. Later the complex was named as Shankar Vihar. The foundation stone of the school was laid on 17 August 2005 by Adjutant General Lt General Mohinder Singh. PVSM, UYSM, AVSM. The construction commenced in full gusto and took two years and six months for completion.
The school with full infrastructure, staffing and enrollment of children upto class VIII, commenced academic session on 9April 2007. This herculean task was accomplished within a record three months time by the first appointee of the school, Col Rajendra Kumar, as Administrative Officer who joined the school on 1st Jan 2007. The school was opened and inaugurated by GOC Delhi Area, Maj Gen KJS Oberoi, SM on 09 April 2007 &.Maj Gen Manmohan Singh (Retd), PVSM, AVSM. The school with its imposing building, state of art infrastructure and facilities, is yet another milestone achieved by the Army Welfare Education Society (AWES) owing to its emergence in short span of time.
Lt Col Tamojeet Biswas, who was appointed by Head Quarter Delhi Area on 5th April 2007 as Officiating Principal, took the school to new heights, with his tremendous vision.
