Only a few years back, India had been partitioned and there had been a mass movement of population. Rohtak had received its share of immigrants from across the border and families uprooted needed new roots, new bearings & new visions. The most important issue, which was uppermost in the minds of all, was good schooling fortheir children. Under the dynamic leadership of Sh. H.D. Shourie, it was decided to start an English medium co- educational school on public school lines to cater for all round development of the children. The school was started with the spirit of self help with just one room and it was named Junior Model School.
