From a humble 16-room building in 1996 to a sprawling integrated complex spread over 5 acres, DLPS has certainly grown in size and caliber. Established by the Darbari Lal Foundation, a trust founded in the memory of distinguished educationist and visionary Shri Darbari Lal ji, DLPS is the first institution set up by the body. And the DL World School is on its way at Greater Noida, 2012 onwards.

With a governing body that comprises eminent figures from academia and education, the Foundation has committed itself to establishing institutions like public schools, sports academies, libraries, and centers for teachers training and educational research. To encourage excellence, it has also instituted student scholarships and awards for meritorious teachers.
