Kangra Valley (KVS) Sr. Sec School
The formation of the Kangra Valley Public Education Society is essentially a conceptual dream come true for Miss Adarsh Rani Bedi.
She was and still is being ably and morally supported by her Grandmother Mrs Rani Bedi, her mother Mrs Letezia Bedi and her Aunt Mrs Adarsh Arora. It is solely because of this support that she was able to give it the necessary start in the year 2003.
The Society finally got the necessary impetus after having been joined by some like minded and dedicated people, like Mr Satyajeev Singh Bedi, her brother, Mr Kapil Chahal a close family friend, and Ms Rohina Thapa an Educationist. It was formally registered in the year 2004 which lead to the formation of the first Society run School, namely the Kangra Valley Senior Secondary School affiliated to the Himachal Pradesh Board of Secondary Education. It was Inaugurated by Major Vijay Singh Mankotia, the Hon’bl Minister for Tourism Himachal Pradesh in March 2004.
The school has since grown from strength to strength and has today carved a niche for itself amongst the top schools in Dharamshala area and today can boast of a strength of 450 plus students, and caters to all the streams namely Arts, Science and Commerce with a staff that is dedicated to ensure, achieve and realize the aim of the establishment of the Institution, that of the overall development of the child/student.Another commitment of the Society has been the aspect of Environmental awareness and its degradation. The Society, through its school children has been active in promoting the message against Environmental degradation by taking up the activity of cleaning up the nearby Khuds, and also participating in the anti Polythene drives organized, both, by the Governmental agencies and own Societal initiatives. The Society, through its school children has also partaken in the movement for the promotion of New and Renewable Energy on
the occasion of the World Environment day Celebrations held at Dharamshala wherein one of the students has also spoken on the subject at a Public Seminar. The Society has also been promoting the use of Sustainable Energy by holding Chaupal sittings in collaboration with various Panchayats of the surrounding areas as well as taken initiative in conducting Seminars in promoting Renewables as a whole.
