Guru HarKrishan Public School is a school with a difference. It has a message and it has an exalted aim. The message is given by our beloved Gurus which has been enshrined in the school motto : “Vidya Vichari Tan paropkari” Rendered in to English, It means that he is learned indeed who does good to others. The exalted aim is to produce ideal members of society, ideal students who have knowledge and skills, who possess character which others would like to emulate and who have balanced personalities steeped in spiritual value.
Guru Harkrishan Public School was established in 1986. It is heartening to note that is now well established in city and villages around Sri Ganganagar.
From a modest beginning, we have come a long way and is today recognised as one of the few private endeavours in education towards promoting excellence in the youth of India. It has been an engaging obsession with us here at our school to develop a committed set of children, brimming with a certain self-confidence, to recognise and realize the changing national fabric and to cope with this in the most effective manner. We aim to bring glory to the Alma Mater, the community, the state and the country at large, and to stand out as the best example of imparting an all round education.
We do not believe in compromising with standards and through a corps of highly dedicated and qualified lot of teachers, through the latest teaching techniques and equipment, through round the year competitions and programmes, we want our students to etch out a place for themselves in the society.
The School is moving towards new and wider horizons. We are already at the top in this part of Sri Ganganagar. Our Board results of Classes X and XII speak for themselves. It is our increasing endeavour to provide the best in school education as well as in sports. Annual Sports and Cultural Function are a regular feature of the school and provide a panoramic view of the achievements of the school in different co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
We propose to add to its excellence in all facets of school education year after year. There is no end to perfection. But on a modest estimate, we can confidently say that this school is sufficiently equipped with Laboratories, Library, Sports and Athletics Complex, Computer Lab with Internet, Music and A V rooms and Art and Craft rooms.
Our goals and priorities are well set and very clear in our minds. A team of dedicated persons both of the Management and the teaching staff is working day and night towards its goals and we have no doubt in our mind, given your goodwill, co-operation and blessings, we will be able to achieve our goals and make this school the best in the region.
At this moment I am reminded of a beautiful couplet from the poem “Stopping by woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost :
“ The Woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep.”
Our tasks and responsibilities are no less onerous. Our commitment to education is very firm and clear. We only pray to God Almighty that He may give us sufficient strength and will-power to complete our tasks and fulfil our promises.

[edit] History
It is named after the Maharaja of Bikaner Maharaja Ganga Singh who established it. It is said that the Maharaja wanted a city based on the design of Paris to be established and hence the map of the Old Ganganagar city will give you a glimpse of the map of Paris.


[edit] Settlement
The town is divided into small blocks. The town is well maintained and offers many Parks and Grounds for rejuvenation and Enjoyment. They also provide space for playing Cricket, Football, Badminton etc. Main Parks Include Nehru Park, Indravatika Park. In the town, one will find one or two Parks for every BLOCK. Most of the people are simple and one can find elder males wearing Kurta - Pyjama (Traditional Dress) and the elder females wearing Sari while the youngsters are cool and can be seen sporting Jeans and T-Shirt. Since the last two-three years, there has been a rapid increase in the population of the town, mainly due to migration of people from neighbouring small towns and villages. This has led to the expansion of the town and has led to the formation of many showrooms of international brands of shoes and clothing such as Reebok, Nike, Adidas, Monte Carlo, John Players, Peter England, Cotton County, Sony etc.


[edit] Economy
It's a testimony to land transformation: Desert land was converted to a lush green town credited to the efforts of the Maharaja who brought the Gang canal which carries the excess waters of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh to the region, making Ganganagar known as "the food basket of Rajasthan" "Suicide woes fill the 'food basket'", "The Times of India", 27 July 2003, .


[edit] Climate
The climate of Sri Ganganagar is of extreme type. This means that this region is very hot in summer where the temperatures almost reach 50 degree Celsius. This region is the hottest in India. The temperature in winter are also quite low. The temperatures almost dip below 0 degree Celsius. "Temperature Regimes", "Water Resource Department - Government Of Rajasthan", .


[edit] Agriculture
Main crops of this area are cotton,wheat and mustard. One thing this area is very famous for is Kinnu(a variant of orange). For the past 10-15 years, farmers of this region are facing tough times. Their main cash crop, cotton has almost collapsed. Although still you can see the long queues of tractor-trollies in the city in winter, but the overall production of food grains has dropped considerably. The decline in the crops is mainly due to a very small insect, "Heliothis"(in local language - sundy)"The Helix", "CSIRO", . This worm has affected the cotton crops very badly. There are other factors as well like the rates of crops. Rates of cotton are still the same where they were in 1992-1993. Although the other crop wheat has got a hike in rates and has helped people recover to some extent, but still, the overall sale result is not as desired by the farmers . Another problem which affects the farmers of this region is the continuous water tussle with Punjab(the neighbouring state). [what?]"Sri Ganganagar Travel Guide", "World 66", .village like 33gg near chunawadh and kurasia are highly productive lands.


[edit] Geography
Ganganagar is located at 29.92° N 73.88° E[1]. It has an average elevation of 164 metres (538 feet).

My Home, My Birth Place in Sri Ganganagar

A Place in the deserts of Rajasthan where I was born “20 +” years ago in the humid afternoon. A son with the name of sun was born for another addition to the family of 4. I lived there for 20 years of my life and there’s a lot that happened from my childhood to my adulthood. I went through so many changes. I went to seventh day Adventist school like my bro and sis and could not cope with the heavy duty studies in grade 2 and had to fail the class. It was too much for me I didn’t have time for that amount of studying hours as I was busy having masti. I was busy with my toys and playing at home with friends. I was very wayward boy. Always had to bug my mom, and for going that I used to get lots of whipping from her. Days have passed and I was taking tuition from one of a “CHING FUNGLI” teacher. He used to use that work just to make us laugh, so here is his name “CHING FUNGLI”. I have no clue what does it mean but at that point in time we all used to say it to each other. So he pulled me out of the SDA School and put me in Central Academy starting from grade 2. He was a teacher there, and managed to get me into the next grade. I used to play cricket in my front yard. There were several neighborhood friends. Some of them are married and I guess I am the last one to get married.
I grew up and graduated from grade 8th from Central Academy School and went to Tiny Tots with my other school friends. Some of them are now doctor and engineers and IT professionals in different parts of India. I still converse with them on Orkut. At that age we all were happy till we got into 10 grade and I was still too mast to study. Always flying kites and playing with friends and looking at some seasonal neighbors. At that time wrestling was very famous so I used to play wrestling with my neighborhood friends, and other kids. It was 10th grade at my school, and we were the first batch of the school. It looked liked someone is experimenting on us. Teachers had no idea what they were teaching and we knew that we won’t do good in exams for sure. We tried other teachers to give us tuitions, but they said no. everyone wants bright students, we were bright but only in color not in studies.
Didn’t do well man, it was winter morning all fogy and we used to go out for tuitions on bi-cycle. Those days were hard and too much stress. I still don’t get It why the life is so different in India than Canada. Here we have no board exam for 10 and 12. No tension, students just enjoy their school life. We used to go for match tuitions to Mr. Rampal’s house. And of course there was this famous Bobby bhaiya i.e. son of the principle, and he used to run the school. No one ever got a chance to know how much educated he is but he always tried to speak English.
Life changes and than you start to forget the old time. I had so much to share and so much to write that it will take me days to finish each and everything that is in my mind. I will try and recall the highlights and will jolt them down.
