Principal’s MessagePrincipal’s Message
O. P. Jindal School is a dream come true for me. It is not very far back when the
foundation stone of the school was laid. It gives me immense pleasure to notice the
brisk pace with which O. P. Jindal School, Raigarh is growing.
The school lays stress on all-round development of personality of its students in
order to enable them to meet the challenges of the modern world. The school also
lays special emphasis on sustainable development of eco system for which major
ecofriendly projects have been launched and executed successfully. The school
trains them to be ecofriendly individuals. As on date, our students have brought
laurels to the school on different ecofriendly projects at national level. OPJS aims
at providing the highest quality of academic programmes that foster the all round
development of a child and provide them human values. OPJS will serve as a
platform for the new generation of ecofriendly leaders and visionaries. Getting
involved in such exchange programmes will help us to establish links with
educational communities in order to keep pace with the changing national realities.
With regards,
R.K. Trivedi
Principal

encourages exploring, raise questions, investigate issues and
seek solutions to environmental problems. Ever since 2001,our

Knowledge creates awareness, and the right attitude is the
prerequisite for sustainable social action.
