Nothing succeeds like Success, DPS was the first School which had ambitions to become a brand. It also started at a time where no one had any idea that schools can also become brands, rest is history and it is where it is today.<\/p>\n

In today’s day and age where Franchisee essentially means same Experience and Same Decor and Same Process and same everything in food \/ automobiles \/ Clothing  etc, DPS has none of it. Each and every DPS (run by society or otherwise has almost different way of functioning). If one has to look at other brands like Mt Litera, Vibgyor, Billabing etc, they will have 80% similarity in the books they use, uniforms they have, teachers training module  —– Standardised delivery, but same can’t be said for DPS in India.<\/p>\n

But DPS today is known across India and abroad and a rich heritage is attributed to it, looking at the success lot of other schools calling themselves DPS sprung up across the country in the past 30-40 years or so. Here is a post detailing about them,<\/p>\n

Here is an interesting article from Quint – 9 Schools Within 20 Kms: The Curious Case of DPS Doppelgangers<\/a><\/p>\n

    To take a DPS franchise, there is no space dedicated over the web detailing out the procedure. One has to approach the society itself and then present their case post which one might get the permission to start a DPS. In a lot of cases the middle man or political clout is required to reach the right people.<\/p>\n

    DPS Trust <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Delhi Public School Trust based in Rohini (Delhi)<\/a> was formed in 2003; it started offering franchises to open schools under the brand name of DPS. A lot of schools like DPS Samablpur, DPS Rewa, DPS Angul etc was started by Trust. Though today there is not a single website stating the list of all the schools run by DPS trust.<\/p>\n

    The Delhi High Court<\/a> in 2008 blocked it from using the DPS name and logo. However, the trust didn’t stop, and by 2012, it was still running 27 schools across the India, under the name Delhi Public School. Thus in September, 2012, Justice Kailash Gambhir warned it of contempt of court if the trust did not stop. <\/sup>In his December 2012, judgment, Justice HR Malhotra observed that “despite being registered in 2003, the Trust claims its foundation for 54 years and had been fraudulently using the logo which is \u2018exactly similar\u2019 to DPS Society.”<\/p>\n

    <\/sup><\/sup>In its subsequent judgment, Justice V K Jain of Delhi high court on 16 December 2012 barred the ‘DPS Trust’ from using the name ‘DPS’ or its registered logo as well as the name Delhi Public School for running a school or education-related services. He also has asked the Trust to pay Rs 10 lakh as damages.<\/p>\n
