Since 1951
R.S. (Rashtriya Sanskrit) Model Senior Secondary School began with sixty-one children in the compound of the Arya Samaj Mandir, Model Town. Seven and a half decades later, the purpose has not quietly changed.
Our History
R.S. (Rashtriya Sanskrit) Model Senior Secondary School, Ludhiana, affiliated to PSEB, was established in the year 1951 with 61 students and 3 teachers, as a primary school in the compound of the Arya Samaj Mandir, Model Town, Ludhiana. The aim was to promote Sanskrit, the language of the Vedas, and to inculcate Vedic culture among the future citizens of India.
It was upgraded to a middle school in 1959 and to a high school in 1965. Under the new Education Policy, the school started the 10+2 system for girls in 1987–88, which was extended for boys as well in 2001–02.
The school was declared the Best School of the State by P.S.E.B. in 1984–85. In 2013, another all-India level organisation named “School Summit” declared our school as one of the Best 100 Schools of India.
Why “Rashtriya Sanskrit”? Sanskrit is not an extracurricular subject here. It is the language the school was named after, and the thread that runs through the Yajyashala, the assemblies, and the values the school asks its students to keep.
