Sprawling Campus:
The Indian Public School is situated in a sprawling, 120 acre campus with
sylvan surroundings. Surrounded by hills on all sides and having a thick
tree cover the campus virtually nestles in the lap of nature, free of any
kind of pollution. The idyllic surroundings are ideal for the growth of
young bodies and minds and the neighbouring countryside provides excellent
opportunities for trekking, climbing and cross country runs.

Essential Infrastructure and Facilities:
The school has adequate facilities with
well equipped and airy classrooms, separate hostel blocks for boys and girls
, a common dining hall, library and science and computer labs. There are
large playgrounds along with basketball, volleyball, badminton and tennis
courts and a swimming pool. More playgrounds and courts are in the offing.
Staff Accommodation:
All staff, academic as well as administrative,
stay in partly furnished accommodation in the school campus with the teaching
staff in constant touch with the children during the day.
Dairy and Bakery :
The school has its own dairy and bakery
to ensure the supply of fresh milk and bread to children.
Dispensary :
The school has a six-bed dispensary under
the supervision of a visiting doctor and a resident nurse/compounder. In
addition to this, the school has tied up with a nearby hospital, close to
the school and reachable in 15 minutes for hospitalization, diagnostics
and other medical emergencies. The school owns a medical van for emergencies.
Guest House :
The guest house within the campus is a
heritage site in itself. It is a 200 year old bungalow which has been renovated
while maintaining the old charm of the structure. Parents are welcome to
stay in the guest house while visiting their children on prior request.
Dining Hall :
The School mess has a well-equipped,
modern kitchen and efficient chefs to cook and serve food of good taste
and high nutritive value. A Mess-in-charge is responsible for the proper
quality and hygiene of the food being served. He or she also plans the menu
in such a manner that the child does not miss home cooked food. Keeping
this in view, a large variety of dishes is served over the week.
A gracious and orderly atmosphere pervades the dining hall
as students take
their seats before meals, beginning with a prayer. A singular feature of
the dining hall is the open kitchen where anything that is cooked is within
the view of all staff and students. To inculcate a sense of responsibility
among the students, suggestions regarding the planning of the menu are invited
from them on a regular basis.
The menu includes an interesting variety of dishes - North Indian, South
Indian, Continental and Chinese cuisines, chaats and pizzas. Efforts are
made to ensure that dishes are not repeated too often and that every meal
has all the required nutrients for the growing children. The school has
its own vegetable garden, dairy and bakery for fresh supply of vegetables,
milk and bakery items.
There is a common room in each of the
residences, for the children to watch TV or play indoor games like Table
Tennis, Chess and Carom. The residences have a matron or housemaster who
is responsible for the all round development of the child. They act as a
mentor to the child and guide him or her wherever necessary. The idea of
entrusting the child under the tutelage of a mentor is reinforcing the age-old
Gurukul tradition.
The management believes that dormitories
are not just sleeping place but homes for the children. There are separate
dormitories for boys and girls, each of them maintained by a Dorm In charge
whose room is attached to dorm for round the clock supervision. The sanitary
blocks are clean, well maintained and have 24-hour supply of hot and cold
water.
