The Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet (HPS, Begumpet) recently announced Dr. Madhav Deo Saraswat (former Principal of The Scindia School) as its new Principal.
Established as Jagirdar’s College by the Seventh Nizam of Hyderabad – H.E.H. Mir Osman Ali Khan – in 1923, in Begumpet, Hyderabad; it was renamed the Hyderabad Public School in 1951 following the abolition of the zamindari system. It stands strong in the heart of Hyderabad, sprawling over a lush green campus of 122 acres.
HPS Begumpet has illustrious alumni like Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft), Shantanu Narayen (CEO of Adobe Inc.), the Owaisi brothers, Ajay Banga (President of Master Card), Syed Akbaruddin (former permanent representative of India at the UN), cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle and ghazal maestro Talat Aziz.
Dr. Saraswat is a post-graduate in English, Hindi, and Sanskrit. Subsequently, he also earned a Doctorate in Hindi Literature.
Dr. Saraswat believes in establishing and promoting a culture of excellence and meritocracy in every sphere of school activity. His educational philosophy is simple and can be summarised in two lines. He believes that Education is about providing the correct references and appropriate stimulants to the students for their inherent goodness to express itself on its own.
He believes that 'Experiential Education' for the youth is the need of the hour and promotes the ideology of 'Leadership through Service' in students.
After a rewarding career in the Doon School where he served for 16 years, he was the founder Principal of two schools. Thereafter, he took on the mantle of the C.E.O of the ‘Sapkal Knowledge Hub’ in Nasik. Prior to joining Hyderabad Public School – Begumpet, Dr. Saraswat served as the Principal at Scindia School, Gwalior starting April 2015.
He joined it at a time when the school needed a firm hand. With his inimitable grit and unflinching determination, he raised the Scindia School to its pinnacle. He expected nothing less than perfection from the students and faculties because he wanted the school to be “top-notch”. Those who have known him closely believe that he has been an exemplary mentor, a role model, and had raised the bar for all, transforming the Scindia Community and never allowing even the slightest amount of complacency to seep in.
The pictures and videos of the very emotional farewell by the students and the teachers of Scindia School are already doing rounds on social media.
Here's Team ScooNews wishing him all the best for his new assignment!
