Our Founders

“Live for something – Do good and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storms can never destroy – write your name in kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by year, and you will never be forgotten – your name and your deeds will shine as the stars of heaven” – Chalmers

 

Such was the persona of Late S. Balwant Singh Sandhu Ji and Late Mrs Balvinder Kaur Ji, founders of Doaba Public School. They were exceptional visionaries who always nursed a dream of starting a school to promote the education of sublime standard. In order to realize their visionary dreams and aspirations, an institution where children could obtain quality and value-based education in all its encompassing sense, was built in the rural village named Parowal in the Doaba region.
