Hira Public School, operated by the Qaumi Refahi Society, began modestly in Hanswar with a small team of teachers and 115 students in a borrowed space. Over time, the school grew steadily, becoming a High School in 1998 and earning affiliation with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in July 1999. By 2006, it expanded to offer Intermediate education in the science stream, specifically designed to serve the educational needs of Hanswar and its surrounding rural and semi-urban communities
Today, the school educates around 2,000 boys and girls from 86 nearby villages, providing quality education from Nursery to Class 12, with a focus on science. The modern, thoughtfully planned campus features state-of-the-art facilities, fostering both academic achievement and holistic development. Spacious, well-ventilated classrooms equipped with the latest audio-visual and multimedia teaching tools create an engaging and dynamic learning environment. The peaceful, rural setting further enhances the students’ physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
The school’s efforts have empowered many girls to pursue higher education, with several advancing into teaching and medical careers. The campus includes 39 well-built classrooms, a library, laboratories, and an auditorium for students in Classes 6 to 12, although the primary section still requires improvements in classroom infrastructure.
Given Hanswar’s remote location, where many families rely on farming, weaving, and manual labor, parents often struggle to afford even the modest school fees. Since 2010, the Aligarh Education Endowment Fund (AEEF) has been providing scholarships to students at Hira Public School, allowing them to complete their education and build a strong foundation for pursuing higher education both in India and abroad, helping them achieve their academic and career aspirations.
