The government’s schemes with too many restrictions to make them truly inclusive by focusing only on the target groups often become utterly counterproductive.
With a view to providing world class education in small pockets of north Bengal region, Delhi Public School (DPS) is all set to start its first branch in the Dooars region. Sprawling across a 10- acre plot, the campus at Ethelbari in Alipurduar district will have three-storey building structures.
DPS Ethelbari has come up under the aegis of the DPS society, New Delhi, a 67-year-old organisation with more than 200 schools across 15 countries, it is learnt. “The admission process for the Ethelbari branch began from 3 January, while classes will begin from 16 April 2018 from nursery to class VI.
However, the school will be upgraded up to class XII following the CBSE curriculum with all modern facilities,” school officials said on Thursday. “We are committed to imparting education that is holistic in nature and is based on conscience to make children self-confident, motivated and ever ready to take up challenges.

The decision to start a new branch of the DPS at Ethelbari in the Dooars was taken after we felt the need to cater to a larger section of society,” DPS Ethelbari Pro- Vice Chairman, Kirtan Chhetri, told a press conference here on Thursday.
Asked if the fees are lower at the DPS Ethelbari branch than in the main town areas, Mr Chhetri said, “The school will provide sponsorships to bright students.” “A dream becomes a goal when action is taken towards its achievement,” DPS Ethelbari Principal, Surath Kumar Dubey, said.
“We are committed to taking constructive and powerful action to produce optimistic, independent, compassionate, lifelong learners, who will bring glory to the school, family, state and the nation,” he added.
“We are dedicated to a student-centered program that promotes academic excellence through an enriched and rigorous inter-disciplinary curriculum. The foundation of a successful school lies on the corporation among the parents, staff and the community,” Mr Dubey said.
