Jindal School, Raigarh is growing.The school lays stress on all-round development of personality of its students in order to enable them to meet the challenges of the modern world. The school also lays special emphasis on sustainable development of eco system for which major ecofriendly projects have been launched and executed successfully. The school trains them to be ecofriendly individuals. As on date, our students have brought laurels to the school on different ecofriendly projects at national level. OPJS aims at providing the highest quality of academic programmes that foster the all round development of a child and provide them human values. OPJS will serve as a platform for the new generation of ecofriendly leaders and visionaries. Getting involved in such exchange programmes will help us to establish links with educational communities in order to keep pace with the changing national realities. With regards,

encourages exploring, raise questions, investigate issues and seek solutions to environmental problems. Ever since 2001,our school has come a long way in achieving its mission of creating environmental awareness among young school children on a long term basis, with the help of educational and awareness activities. Knowledge creates awareness, and the right attitude is the prerequisite for sustainable social action.
