Education to Post Graduate Programmes in Engineering and Technology, Computer Applications, Dental Science, Pharmacy, Hospitality, diverse streams of Management and so on under the same umbrella in order to comprehensively and collectively optimize the reach of Educational Initiatives in every strata and corner of society towards a better future.Our educational Initiatives believe that creating an academic foundation for social, cultural, scientific, economic and technological development in our Nation can mature into Global Interface by giving way to education exchange in the International territory as well. Therefore, our focus is to achieve unparalleled excellence that will bring development to our society and mankind by optimizing their potential, thereby establishing the observation of the renowned Journalist Sydney J. Harris on the role & purpose of education which is to "turn mirrors into windows.

I always experienced a yearning to acknowledge my responsibilities and reciprocate by contributing to the growth and development of our society. Years ago when I visited my son's school, I perceived that the best way to advance society is by fostering education and it was at that moment that the dream and vision of JIS Group Educational Initiatives was conceived."Vision looks inward and becomes duty. Vision looks outward and becomes aspiration. Vision looks upward and becomes faith."Now, when this vision of duty, aspiration and faith has become a reality, it is a proud moment for me and my team to see thousands of students pursuing higher education in JIS Group of institutions and equipping themselves to become industry ready professionals for successful careers. In this process the Group intends to unite all dimensions of Education from School

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to Narula Public School, Mogra. We believe that imparting the best educational experience is only possible under the dual nurturing of competency and sense of responsibility within an environment, favourable for encouraging new ideas. Hence, we intend to build up our facilities in a manner which helps in continuing our momentum in varied fields of education for all-round development of students.

Our mission is to create generation-next of highly competent students with the right mix of positive attitude & values imbibed in them through creativity, innovation & rightful mentoring, so that they can be prepared to meet all the challenges of life. It is a universal truth that the design & implementation of Scholastic & Co- Scholastic Activities are the fundamental strengths of a school. Narula Public School welcomes all stakeholders to experience quality teaching & diverse opportunities of co-curricular activities, planned for the holistic development of our students.

The key challenge that lies before us is to strike a balance between pursuit of knowledge and character building through value based education, quite in consonance with what Swami Vivekananda had remarked, “We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded & by which one can stand on one’s own feet.”

We hope that you will join hands with us in this mission!

As we lay the foundation of new beginnings, with Narula Public School, Mogra, having opened doors to the children from Nursery to Grade VII on April 16, 2019, we welcome all the stakeholders to yet another educational initiative from the JIS Group.

Paying homage to the vision of our founding father, late Sardar Jodh Singh, who wanted to 'Enrich, Empower & Enlighten' our generation-next by integrating the best global pedagogical practices with classroom teaching-learning, we, at Narula Public School stand committed to that dream of our founding father! Through discovery, innovation, exposure & interaction we aim to bring about the holistic development of our students.

We believe that educating children does not mean teaching them facts alone, it also means teaching them how to think & learn on their own, thus becoming self-directed learners of the 21st Century. Providing sound mentoring to the students, both in the Scholastic & Co-Scholastic domain of activities, is of utmost importance in the School Curriculum.

Guru Nanak had felt in the fifteenth century -

“Vidya Vichaari Ta Parupkaari” (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Pg 356)

which if translated connotes the aim of education--- preparing a social order of humans, who are selfless & sensitive to the need of others.

Thus, at Narula Public School, we aspire to integrate value-based teaching practices, inclusive learning environment & suitable technological resources to improve student learning outcomes, ensuring physical, emotional, social & intellectual well-being of the students.

We pray to the Almighty to bless us in

our endeavours!
