History of HRA

History of HRA International School

To fulfill His Vision into Reality, his youngest son Mr. Hira Mani aggarwal took a long leap and entered into a new venture of starting School in the loving memory of his father, revered LaLa Hans Raj ji Aggarwal. Being obsessed with an idea of inculcating the young minds with Indian-thoughts, philosophy, culture, way of life, Nationality and honesty, Mr. Hira Mani Aggarwal, gathered a group of likeminded and friendly people and formed an Educational Society with the initiative to establish a great centre with difference.

The idea took shape and school with the name H.R.A International School came into existence at village Ghorala, by pass road, Gurdaspur. Ideally located away from the overcrowded congestion of the city noise, in sprawling lush green area of more than 10 acres of land for the future expansion in mind, the School building was formally inaugurated by the then education minister Sh. Khushhal Bahl on 17th January 2003 i.e. on the 4th death anniversary of the great visionary and revered Lala Hans Raj ji Aggarwal,, to whose loving memory the school is dedicated, which is itself a tribute to that great soul.

Apart from the members of the Managing Committee, it will be great injustice if the contribution of the some eminent personalities is not mentioned, who provided/extended moral yet invaluable support to Sh. Hira Mani Aggarwal in realizing his dreams. They are Dr. P.K. Bajaj (retired professor GGD SD College,CHD.), Sh. Upkar Krishan Sharma (President GGD SD College Society, CHD), Dr. A.C. Vaid (former Principal GGD SD College CHD, and presently pro Vice Chancellor APJ University) and Dr. Anirudh Joshi (Gen Sect GGD SD College Society). The name of revered Pandit Mohan Lal, a great visionary and educationist, also need to be mentioned, who was also a source of inspiration for Sh. Hira Mani Aggarwal, as Mr. Aggarwal remained associated with him for a long period of time and is presently Chairman of Pandit Mohan Lal SD College for Women, Gurdaspur.
Since the day of inauguration on January 17th 2003, Sh. Hira Mani Aggarwal did not look back and the school is earning name and fame with every passing year.
