Shri Udai Singh Verma, an eminent academician, adept manager
and institution builder in the field of education was born on

Shri Verma, a veteran educationist and social reformer, has a
distinguished academic career in teaching and administration spanning
over 58 years. He started his professional career in 1960 as a teacher
with Government school in Delhi. With his dedicated and meritorious
services, he distinguished himself as an ideal teacher. All his heads
whom he served held him in high esteem for his passion, perseverance
and patience towards his profession. He is presently working as the
Director Principal of Modern Delhi Public School, Faridabad.
Shri Verma’s journey is reminiscent of no ordinary success story. It is a
tale of toil and sweat, of struggle and perseverance. Coming from a
humble family background, he has risen from rural hinterland to the
zenith of modern education. He has worked for the cause of spreading
quality education with a missionary zeal and has been on a relentless
spree of setting up quality institutions, one after another.
In 1968, Shri Deen Dayal, the Legendry Principal of DPS
Mathura Road invited Shri Verma to be a part of his team as a guest
lecturer. Shri Verma’s devotion to duty, diligence and resourcefulness
earned him a high stature at DPS Mathura Road. In 1974 , Shri R.S.
Lugani, the Founder Principal of DPS R.K. Puram and the then
Chairman, Late Dr. Prem Kirpal of the society impressed upon him
to join DPS R.K. Puram as a guest lecturer and thereafter in 1982

innovative and disciplined pursuit of excellence, Shri Verma, in 1981,
was awarded with the State Award and become the first teacher
from the NCR region to be selected and decorated for the National

During his stay at DPS R.K. Puram, he created for himself a prominent
and respectable niche in the institution. Shri Verma has the credit of
bringing into life the two great gems of Delhi Public School Society i.e.
DPS, Vasant Vihar in 1986 and DPS Vasant Kunj in 1990, which

School Society. In recognition to his services, Shri Verma was elevated

full cooperation and support in establishing and expanding DPS R.K.
Puram, be it – academics, sports, cultural activities or infrastructure.

responsibility to establish a new venture – DPS Faridabad in 1995.
DPS Faridabad started its odyssey on 10 th July, 1995 with 640
students in Govt. school building at sector 21-C sans infrastructure
and became a seat of excellence for the pupils of industrial city of
Faridabad in a remarkably short time span.
Beyond DPS under the dynamic leadership and able guidance of
Shri Verma as Director Principal, Modern Delhi Public School,
Faridabad, was established as a new milestone on 12 th December,
2005 in the same Govt. school building at sector 21-C where
DPS Faridabad was started 10 years back. Barely into its twelfth
academic session, the school boasts of several milestones achieved
and has become the major landmark in the educational area. Constant
and concerted efforts of the students are yielding magnificent results,
be it class X/XII Boards, IIT-JEE, NEET, AIIMS, KVPY, RMO, NSO, NCO,
IEO, NTSE, Aryabhatta and many more. On the popular demand of the
citizenries of Faridabad, Modern Delhi Public School has expanded its
legacy of excellence by extending its window to Sector-89, Faridabad.
The school provides the state-of-the-art infrastructure with spacious
sports complex that is managed by expert sports instructors. As a
result of their ceaseless efforts the students are bringing laurels in
sports at state, national as well as international levels.
The credentials of the school speak for it through the success of
its students who passed through the portals of the school and are
successfully pursuing their careers.
The scholastic and co-scholastic results speak volumes about
Shri Verma’s impeccable credentials as a teacher endowed with
conspicuous administrative and managerial skills. Shri Verma is a living
legend in the field of education, with a strong sense of vision, mission
for the cause of nation and society at large. He is an architect with
rich experience and expertise of setting up the educational institutions
that shape the children to be academically sound, morally upright
and socially well integrated citizens of whom not only the nation but
humanity may be proud of.
