An Overview
The untimely and tragic death of Bhai Ujagar Singh’s only son on May 9, 1908 was like a thunderbolt to his father Bhai Sahib Bhai Narain Singh. It took Bhai Sahib a year or so to recover from the stunning shock and make up his mind to devote the rest of his life to the service of humanity and thus perpetrate the memory of his dear son. With this objective in view, he started a Girls Primary School and a female Dispensary. In this noble mission he received the willing support of his village fellows and other sympathizers of female education. The village appreciated his services and encouraged him by sending their daughters to his school.
The school was started on 29th May, 1909, on the site of present Gurudwara under a mulberry tree in the compound of Bhai Sahib’s house. It was recognized by the Education Department in 1912 as a Primary School. In 1916 it was raised to the Middle Standard and recognized as such in 1917. Optional English classes were started in 1930 and were recognized a year after. The school was raised to High Standard in 1934. School was adopted in Delhi pattern Grant in aid in 1967. The Senior Secondary classes were moved from Khalsa College for Women to the school in the year 2004-2005.
To approve female education in the surrounding, Bhai Sahib started several branch schools in the neighboring villages. Some of those have been taken over by the district board Ludhiana.
