Dear Parent,

Greetings from ABPS

A futuristic vision, integrity of intentions, nobility in thought and an

indomitable spirit were needed to give wings to dream which, with the strength

of its own convictions, scaled insurmountable heights. The annals of history

bear testimony to the unmatched success attained by what began as a small

endeavour to offer quality education, a right blend of western progressive

thought and Indian Culture to the glorious status it enjoys today, that of an

educational institution ABPS Awarpur of unparallel repute. Its achievements

have always been accorded the recognition, it so truly deserves.

The success of the eminent alumni of this institution, in their chosen

fields, attributes immensely to school’s unprecedented non peril status and

person.

I feel privileged to present before you the glimpses of the ‘Achievements

and Happenings in the school’, the school where creativity is fostered and

harmony promoted.

Remember Always

‘The necessity of an absolute sincerity,

The certitude of Truth’s final victory,

The possibility of constant progress with the will to achieve’

GOD BLLESS YOU!

Sincerely yours,
