Lions Vidyamandir Secondary School, Delhi

DESCRIPTION :

The school was equipped to provide FREE education to the children from Class 1 to 11 under the higher secondary scheme of the Govt. of Delhi and was formally recognized. After a few years, as per the lionistic traditions the club decided to handover the school to the Government of NCT of Delhi of running the same as Govt. Institution. Inspite of all out efforts by the Lions Club of Delhi, the Directorate of Education did not take up the school formally and eventually at the insistence of then Chief Executive Councilor of the then Government of State of National Capital territory of Delhi the club decided to take back the school. During the intervening period between the handing over the school and taking back in Feb., 1983 the condition of the school deteriorated to such an extent that the number of students fell from over 1000 to a few hundred. The Lions Club of Delhi then decided to form a trust in 1985 consisting of Lion members of the club only to run the school. Since the school was not upgraded by the Directorate of Education to Senior Secondary Level introduced by the Central Board of Secondary Education the school at present provides FREE Education upto 10th Class. However, efforts are being made to upgrade the school to ?Senior Secondary Level? and it hoped to get the necessary approval in the coming academic year.
