D.A.V. Nandraj Public School is a CBSE affiliated, Senior Secondary, English medium school providing good quality education to students hailing from different parts of Jharkhand as well as from neighbouring states. Established in the year 1981 the school has carved a unique niche for itself as it provides good quality education along modern lines and at the same time generates among students an attachment to and a respect for ages-old Indian values and traditions. It is this fusion of the old and new that students and parents are most attracted to. This gives the students a firm grounding in the past.

Having a sprawling campus replete with all modern facilities and good infrastructure the school provides education to around 2000 students coming from various cross sections of society. It does not make any differentiation, whatsoever, at the entry level and the academically weak students are also granted admission only to be chiselled and polished for betterment. The school believes in the innate potential of the students and leaves the students at the hands of experienced teachers who try their level best to transform them into capable, confident and knowledgeable individuals ready to serve their families and society in a profitable manner. All activities of the school are guided by an able Principal, Mrs. Shailender Kaur.

The composition of the school is heterogeneous as the students belong to different socio-cultural and economic groups and this very diversity is representative of the nation with its immense diversity in terms of culture, attire, language and food. This varied socio-cultural environment prevailing in the school provides ample opportunities to students to mingle with students hailing from various sections of society, thus fostering in them an ethos of acceptability which is so very essential in the modern world as people travel extensively within the country and also venture to foreign lands for work or for entertainment. Students belonging to different families mix freely with the students of less affluent families in an atmosphere of shared existence.
