About Us
The journey of Ankur School began in the late 1950s, when a small but dedicated group of faculty wives at Panjab University (PU) came together with a vision to constitute a school for the children of university employees. This informal group, later known as the Students’ Aid Society, embarked on a mission to provide quality education to the children. Their efforts were initiated by raising donations to fund this noble cause.
The idea of establishing a formal educational institution on the University Campus was an aspiration cherished by the residents of the University. After several discussions, the Panjab University in one of its fruitful meetings of the Senate decided to allot land to the Society fulfilling the aspirations of all associated with this cause. The dream took shape with a focus on providing early childhood education. The result was the establishment of Ankur Nursery School.
On 25th February 1973, the foundation stone for the school was laid by Smt. Parkashwati Pathak, wife of Shri. Gopal Swarup Pathak, the then Vice-President of India and the Chancellor of Panjab University. The school building was completed in 1976 and in the same year, the inauguration took place on 3rd March by Mrs. Sangamma Jatti, wife of Shri. B.D Jatti, the then Vice-President of India and the Chancellor of Panjab University.
From its humble beginning, Ankur Nursery School gradually flourished into one of the most reputed institutions in Chandigarh. The School Management body was constituted with the spouse of the Vice Chancellor as its President. With dedication and hard work of the Management, Principals, teachers and staff, the school expanded with each academic year. Over time, the school evolved into a Primary, Middle, and Senior Secondary School. New wings and classrooms were added and the infrastructure was uplifted to meet the needs of a growing organization. The school started offering a comprehensive education in all the three streams : Science , Commerce and Humanities. What began as a small Nursery School eventually grew into a full-fledged educational institution.
The school reached its significant milestone when it got affiliated to the CBSE with the first batch of Class X students graduating in 2014 and the first batch of Class XII students passing out in 2019, marking a new chapter in the rich legacy of this institution.
Today, Ankur School stands tall as a symbol of dedication, commitment and excellence in education, continuing its mission of empowering children from all walks of life and providing them with the foundation to achieve success and contribute meaningfully to society. The school is celebrating its Golden Jubilee this year with a series of both inter as well as intra school competitions, community outreach activities and educational excursions.
