D A V Public School

D A V Public School About Us

I would like to narrate the story of the DAV movement, particularly in the eastern region.  You will be glad to know that the late N. D. Grover, a staunch follower of Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati and Mahatma Gandhi, was a legendary and visionary person who was on a mission to establish educational institutions in the region where people were deprived of quality education. He is known as the Father of DAV Schools of the whole eastern region as he turned the DAV Movement into a revolution and established more than 200 institutions in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Sikkim, UP, MP, Chhattisgarh, and Orissa within a very small span of time, i.e., only 25 years. It was his vision that he established schools even in Naxalite areas, as he knew well that Naxal problems could be resolved forever by educating people only.  The DAV PUBLIC SCHOOL, MOONIDIH, is one of the schools of the educational revolution started by the late N. D. Grover, the then Regional Director, DAV Public Schools, Ranchi Zone. This school was established in the year 1984 in collaboration with Coal India Limited in order to provide quality education to the children of the BCCL employees and the people of the locality as well. It was undeniably a very honest and sincere effort of the then-personnel manager, Mr. V. R. Joshi, Moonidih Project, General Manager, Mr. A. K. Sahay, Moonidih Project, and Chief Managing Director, Mr. C. S. Jha, BCCL Koyla Bhawan, who personally took the utmost interest and also met the then-Regional Director, Late N. D. Grover, to open At the initial stage, the school started to function at CISF Camp at Baludih, where Nehru Shatabdi Girls High School is running. The school started functioning with 350 students and 13 staff from STD LKG to STD VII. Since its establishment, it has started to flourish in every respect in catering to the needs of the students, and also the school got full cooperation from the then BCCL authorities in setting up a new building in the year 1988. The school was shifted from the old CISF Camp Baludih to the newly constructed building in the year 1988. The school was affiliated with CBSE up to STD X in 1987, and the first batch of students took the board exam in 1988. The school got affiliated with CBSE up to STD XII (Arts, Science, and Commerce) in the year 1992. The first batches of AISSCE (+2) Arts and Science appeared from this school in the sessions 1991–1992 and 1993–1994, respectively. The present strength of the school is nearly 2700 from LKG to STD XII with four and five sections in almost all the classes. The school has a Study Centre for NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling), especially to facilitate the studies of students who failed to continue with their studies for one reason or the other. Since the establishment of the school, we haven’t looked back; rather we are scaling a new height every year in scholastic and nonscholastic areas.
