The foundation stone of the first DPS building at Mathura Road in New Delhi was laid by Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan in 1949, the then Vice President of India. A non-profit, non-proprietary association working for educational excellence, the DPS Society enjoys a rich experience across six decades. By providing education to a wide community, the society is contributing to individual, community and national progress.

The DPS Society believes in a universal educational programme, encompassing a respect for cultures, convictions, communities and societies. Represented by a pan- national (220 schools) and pan-global (20 outside India) presence, the society is present across 20 states and 44 cities in India and 12 countries (including USA, Kuwait, Sharjah, Doha, Dubai, Nepal and Indonesia).
