Through its concerted efforts the society has created institutions at par with international standards that impart quality education right from the kindergarten stage to secondary level, charging very nominal fee. Keeping in view the growing educational needs of children with the exposure to contemporary circumstances to develop them into responsible citizens as a national resource, Late Sh. Ram Chander Thakran established (founded) the society namely “Chaudhary Hira Lal Shiksha Samiti (CHLSS) to serve the community/society as a whole. In 1987, under the aegis of CHLSS, he laid the foundation stone of Aurobindo Public School in Budh Vihar Phase - 1 followed by Aurobindo Primary School at Bajitpur and preserved the name of his father Late Sh.

in forming an educational society. The society was formed by him after his father’s name i.e.

vigour and vision. Sir was the guiding force behind the success of educational ventures of

established two institutes of repute in the name of Indian philosopher, yogi, maharishi, poet
and Indian Nationalist, Sri Aurobindo, which have now become a brand in the field of education.

prestigious institute, offering infrastructure of international standard and education at an
affordable price. From sir we have learnt the lesson of swadharma, integrity and uprightness.
