the availability of seats, children of officers of the Public sector of non - government
servants may also be admitted, at the discretion of the Governing Body.
2. To impart sound and liberal education to boys and girls during their impressionable
years - a type of education that will lay stress on character building, team work, esprit de
corps, physical development and will infuse in school children a spirit of adventure, fair play
and justice.

produce citizens who will truly be global and rise above social, communal,
religious and provincial prejudices.
The Society started its first school with the strength of 32 students, the Sanskriti School, in
New Delhi, in the year 1998. The Chairperson of the Society is also the Chairperson of the
School. Sanskriti School is a recognized integrated co -educational school, affiliated to the
CBSE, offering education from Nursery through Class XII.
The Society believes that every child can and must realize his/her full potential, and
towards this end, must be enabled through appropriate means. With this in mind, the
School has a Learning Centre with Special Educators and Counselors guiding children who
have special needs, through an Individual Education Program (IEP).Likewise, for those
from the relatively less privileged sections of society, the Society runs a parallel school
Umang in the afternoon. Efforts are also made to mainstream some of the children. These
children from the economically weaker sections are admitted through the admission
process under the Delhi Education Act.
The Civil Services Society has set up a Centre for Excellence to promote teacher training
initiatives. It has instituted the Sanskriti Lecture Series to motivate students by exposing
them to thought processes of eminent persons.
