Why these publications matter
India has thousands of iconic educational institutions — schools that shaped generations, universities that defined careers, boards that set the curriculum for millions. And yet, almost none of them have a serious, independent, well-researched account of their own history. We are building that library — one institution at a time. These publications will outlast us all.
The CBSE Story
How India's largest school board shaped a nation
From a modest post-Independence experiment to a board that now governs the education of over 20 million students across India and abroad. The politics, the personalities, the policy battles, and the profound human stories behind India's most influential education body. Researched from RTI filings, parliamentary records, archived circulars, and 70 years of public documentation.
The DPS Story
India's most recognised school brand, examined
Delhi Public School has become a byword for quality Indian education. But the DPS brand today means everything and nothing — from elite flagships in Delhi to franchise schools in small towns. This publication traces the founding vision, the expansion, the controversies, and the question nobody asks: what does DPS actually stand for today?
The Amity Story
The rise of India's most ambitious private university
Built in three decades from a single institute in Noida into a university system with campuses across India, the UK, Dubai, and beyond. The Amity story is the story of private higher education in India — its ambitions, its contradictions, and its relentless, controversial expansion. The most complete account ever written of the Ritnand Balved Education Foundation.
