KHAITAN
THE LEGACY CONTINUES
The Khaitan Family has been proudly promoting education for over 40 years. Starting from humble beginnings, Shri Gajanan Khaitanji, a freedom fighter, toured Kolkata in his car with Mahatma Gandhiji by his side to assess the situation after India achieved independence. He, along with his sons, embarked on a mission to rebuild India into an economic powerhouse. Venturing into fields like chemicals, fertilizers, distilleries, and education, the Khaitan family has been honoured to serve the community since India’s independence in 1947.
Smt. Devi Prasad and Shri Gajanan Khaitan founded their first CBSE school, the B.D.M. International School, in Kolkata in 1964. Several more schools were established with the objective of promoting literacy and facilitating the country’s economic growth.
Continuing the legacy of the Khaitan family, Mr. Kamesh Khaitan established Khaitan Public School (KPS) in 2001 with just 9 students. Today, KPS stands as the No. 2 school in Ghaziabad, boasting an alumni base of over 6000, 3200 current students, and a distinguished reputation in the NCR. The school’s mission is to empower its students to excel morally, socially, and spiritually. As a CBSE school, KPS provides high standards of learning through its dedicated and highly trained faculty and world-class infrastructure. Special emphasis is placed on upskilling teachers through premier resources both in India and abroad, focusing on curriculum design, pedagogy, and assessment.
Mr. Khaitan believed that the vision of his philanthropic parents, Smt. Draupadi Devi Khaitan and Shri G.N. Khaitan, cannot be realized through the majestic brick and mortar structure alone, but through the strength of character exhibited by the students. Guided by this vision, Mr. Khaitan has elevated KPS to unprecedented heights over the past 21 years.
In 2021, after 40 years of educating more than 22,000 students, the Khaitan family introduced another institution in Ghaziabad: Khaitan World School, under the chairmanship of Mr. Anirudh Khaitan. The visionary Founder and Chairman of Khaitan World School, Mr. Khaitan, holds the belief that instilling good values, ethos, and offering children top-tier facilities and educators to mould their future is the guiding principle behind the school’s foundation. The Khaitan family remains steadfast in this commitment.
