Vidya Devi Jindal School, also known as VDJS, is a residential school for girls in Hisar, Haryana, India, founded in 1984. Late Shri OP Jindal, former Member of Parliament, philanthropist, industrialist of Haryana had a vision for a progressive state where men and women would be equal to each other and in their equality lay the secret for the state's advancement.
The result of this vision was the birth of Vidya Devi Jindal School, a girls residential school at Hisar in Haryana (India). It was the maiden venture of the Vidya Devi Jindal Rural Development Trust established in 1981 by Shri OP Jindal. The school became functional in July 1984 and was granted affiliation by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) the same year.
The motto of the school is enshrined in the Sanskrit words Vidya Jyoti Jeevan Jyoti which means 'the light of knowledge is the light of life'. All efforts are directed towards the achievement of this objective considering that education is a social vehicle, which must drive you to forge ahead and be a carriage for new ideas.
At VDJS, a residential school, the medium of teaching is the English language. The school provides education that nurtures the traditions of Indian culture and absorbs the finer influences of the west.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“A man of sense and energy, the late head of the Farm School in Boston Harbor, said to me, “I want none of your good boys,Mgive me the bad ones.” And this is the reason, I suppose, why, as soon as the children are good, the mothers are scared, and think they are going to die.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
