Focus on self-reliance at Police DAV Public school

A good school nowadays is one that develops intellectual abilities and ethics in students and also imparts digital technology skills. I am fortunate to be a part of one such institution, Police DAV Public School, Jalandhar. As a child, whenever I saw students dancing in the ground, I would be mesmerised. I started participating in co-curricular activities right from Nursery. The school has given me ample opportunities in academics and sports.

My school identifies leadership abilities in children and hones them. Attending classes at Police DAV Public School is a matter of joy as I consider it my extended family.
