Salwan Public School, Gurugram, Haryana
A CBSE co-educational Senior Secondary school in the heart of Gurugram, home to about 2,900 students. Established in 1996 under the Salwan Education Trust, we offer a holistic, experiential, and student-centric education — nurturing empowered citizens with universal values.
Heritage & History
Our roots run deep. The Trust that governs this school is more than eighty years old; this Gurugram campus has served its city for three decades.
The Salwan Education Trust was founded in 1941 at Peshawar by late Pandit Girdhari Lal Salwan — a true patriot and visionary dedicated to nation-building. He championed a single, radical principle: education should be accessible to all, regardless of background, rooted in justice and inclusivity.
Driven by the ideology of “Education for All,” Pt. G. L. Salwan established a network of institutions — the Salwan Sanatan Dharam High Schools (1942), Salwan Boys School (1949), Salwan Girls School (1952), and Salwan Public School (1953). Over the last 80 years, the Trust has set unparalleled benchmarks in education, nurturing young minds with a blend of academic excellence, values, and holistic development. Today, 08 schools are being run successfully under the aegis of Salwan Education Trust, carrying forward the legacy with an unwavering commitment to quality education, social responsibility, and nation-building.
Son of Late Pt. Girdhari Lal Salwan, Shri Shiv Dutt Salwan (1929–2024) devoted his life to expanding the Trust’s reach, deepening the founding promise of “Education for All” with each passing decade.
“Education is the key to unlocking the potential of our young minds. Let us nurture, inspire and empower them to shape a brighter future.”

Developing self-directed, confident learners equipped with diverse competencies — ready to shape a better tomorrow.
Guided by the founder’s principle of “Education for All,” we help every student discover their potential and develop the character to use it in the service of others.
Our vision is to nurture empowered citizens with universal values. The motto that carries it — Service Before Self, and Tamso ma Jyotirgamaya, inscribed on the Salwan crest — is a living practice: to illuminate minds through knowledge, dispel ignorance, and put the collective good ahead of personal gain.
The Salwan logo — The Rising Sun — is a manifestation of the school’s cherished philosophy of Service Before Self. Just as the sun rises each day to give light without expectation of return, it reminds our community to serve others willingly, graciously, and selflessly.
Every student is developed into a progressive global citizen who preserves the institution’s legacy while demonstrating a humanistic outlook and moral integrity. Eight values guide that journey.
We raise the bar every time. In the classroom, on the field, in service to our communities. Mediocrity is never the standard; mastery and continuous improvement are. Every teacher, student, and staff member measures success not by effort alone, but by impact and growth.
Examples in action
We take responsibility. For our actions, our learning, our teams, and our results. In a world where change is constant, we run toward responsibility as opportunity. No problem is “someone else’s problem.” We act like owners, not passengers.
Examples in action
We act with awareness that our school is part of a larger whole — our neighbourhood, our city and our nation. We show up as proactive citizens who serve, volunteer, and build. Our community engagement is not symbolic; it is how we learn leadership and empathy.
Examples in action
We embrace curiosity, experimentation, and smart risk-taking. Innovation is not limited to technology; it means finding better ways to teach, learn, and operate. We reward ideas that simplify, elevate, or expand opportunity.
Examples in action
We believe growth is lifelong. We reflect, seek feedback, and adapt, personally and institutionally. Every classroom is a lab for improvement.
Examples in action
We earn trust through honesty, fairness, and empathy. We respect diverse voices and perspectives, and create safe spaces to speak and learn. Discipline is not about control; it’s about respect for oneself and others.
