About Modern Public School, Shalimar Bagh

The Modern Public School was founded in 1971 by the Modern Public School Education Society (Regd.) with the declared goal of advancing education in the NCT of Delhi, notably in Shalimar Bagh and surrounding regions. “It is rightly said that “The whole purpose of education is to teach the child to think and not what to think”. We at Modern Public School believe that this is the fundamental truth and it has always been the endeavour of the school to instill right values in its students so that they develop a holistic personality and are ready to take on the challenges head on once they step out of the gates of the school”, remarks Modern Public School, Shalimar Bagh principal Alka Kapur.

Arjun, a 15-year-old kid, is now ranked first in India, third in Asia, and tenth overall for under-18 boys throwing javelins. “Arjun’s impressive success at the National Youth Athletics Championship has brought immense glory to our school and I am optimistic that he will excel at the Asian Youth Athletics Championship, too. In this moment of pride, I hope all our students get inspired by Arjun and bring more laurels to the school,” said Alka Kapur, principal, Modern Public School. The school will hold a ceremony to celebrate Arjun's achievements and wish him luck before he leaves for the national camp to practise before representing India at the Asian Youth Athletics Championship in 2022. He will also receive support from the school in the form of a scholarship that covers his fees.
