Delhi Public School, Bhagalpur, has been named the best school in the district following a survey conducted last year.

Digital e-Learning, a magazine, selected 5,000 and odd schools across India for the survey. Conducted in December last year, the survey included CBSE and ICSE schools in Patna, Gaya and Bhagalpur districts as well.

In Bhagalpur, Delhi Public School was named the best in the district.

The magazine took in account several facets of education, including discipline, academic performance, environment-friendly facilities, modern laboratories, digital classes, AC buses and hostel accommodation.

Happy with the honour, the school officials iterated their mission to provide children in the district holistic education.

The school's public relations officer, Rajesh Sinha, said: 'The goal of Delhi Public School, Bhagalpur, has always been and will be to provide holistic education to youths in the city. The school strongly believes in the Gandhian thought of catering to all-round development of a child in order for him/her to develop holistically. We believe in providing all students opportunities to prosper in their chosen field of interest.'

Pro-vice-chairman of the school Rajesh Kumar Srivastava and principal Arunima Chakraborty dedicated the success to the conscientious endeavour of the students and teachers.
