About Ankur

Ankur School began its journey in the late 1950s, rooted in the efforts of the spouses of Panjab University faculty, who formed the Students’ Aid Society to uplift the education of children from working-class families. Their initiative started with small donations to support this noble cause. This vision led to the establishment of Ankur Nursery School, with its foundation stone laid in 1973 and the building inaugurated in 1976.

Over the years, the school grew from a nursery to a full-fledged institution, offering education up to the senior secondary level in Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams. The first Class X and XII batches graduated in 2013 and 2019, respectively. Today, Ankur School stands as a symbol of commitment and excellence, dedicated to empowering students from all backgrounds with quality education.
