"School comes from the Greek word for leisure - leisure in which to learn, a place where students and teachers can flower, a place where a future generation can be prepared, because schools are meant for that, not just merely to turn out human beings as mechanical, technological instruments; but also flower as human beings, without fear, without confusion, with great integrity."

J.Krishnamurti

 ABOUT THE SCHOOL...

Education should be the biggest and best adventure in a child's life.  

We, at Deepika English Medium School, Sector –5, Rourkela, the intra-structure of which was provided by Rourkela Steel Plant, Steel Authority of India Limited registered under Societies Act was established in 1976 with 76 student and 3 teachers. It was established to cater to the need for an English medium school in the steel city. Since then the School has grown to be one of the premier institution in the region. Today, it boasts of about 2800 students and 104 staff members. The school is a co-educational institution, preparing pupils for Central Board of Secondary Examination (C.B.S.E.) of classes-X and classes-XII. During these 25 years the school has developed as one of the best schools in the area of discipline, education etc. not only in Orissa but also in the Eastern Region without making education expensive. A committee manages the school. The quality of teaching is maintained by an appropriate teacher-pupil ratio and provision of teachers with high qualification, experience and dedication to education. The school is equipped with the latest equipments for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology & Computer labs. Besides normal teaching in the classrooms, the school imparts teaching through visual aids, namely educational CD’s, slides, Over-head Projector, Charts etc.

The Academic performance of our student is excellent in all the years both at secondary& +2 level. This has been highly appreciated by the board. The Management and Staff of Deepika E.M. School have taken a personal interest in all aspects of the running of the school through innovative processes. Since every child is a precious individual with unique aptitudes, it is the duty of the educational institution to ensure that each one of them reaches their full potential. Recognition, enhancement and accomplishment of these innate abilities are given the serious attention they deserve. To achieve this, teachers and students spend much more time together than they normally would in a day school.

Every year, at least 2-3 students from this school enter IITs. A very good number of students got admissions in R.E.C.s Engineering and Medical colleges. While some of the exceptionally students are now the part of Indian Diaspora spread across the globe. Living in perfect harmony with nature, both teachers and students in the school have ample   opportunities to imbibe service-mindedness and inculcate ethical principles.

 It is our hope that the products of DEMS, Rourkela will be courageous Citizens of the world, experts in their chosen fields spreading the aura of human values to make the world a better place to live in.
