Founded on 14th November 1981 under the noble umbrella of the Donyi Polo Mission, Donyi Polo Vidya Bhawan is more than just a school, it is a vision turned into reality. The dream belonged to Shri Gegong Apang, the 3rd Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, who firmly believed that every Arunachalee child deserves access to world-class education within the state itself. With just three students and one teacher, this humble journey began in a serene corner of Itanagar, guided by his principle that an institute must be far from noise, close to nature, and secular in character. Today, after 43 glorious years, the school stands tall on a vast 143,385 sqm campus, proudly affiliated to CBSE, New Delhi (Affiliation No. 223007), and recognized by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh (EED/A/28/2022-23). Catering from Class I to XII, it is the only school in Arunachal Pradesh that holds membership in the prestigious Indian Public Schools’ Conference (IPSC).
Here, education goes beyond classrooms. The school blends academic excellence with discipline, leadership, culture, and values, nurturing not just students, but future-ready citizens and leaders. Generations of young minds have walked through its gates, carrying with them the strength of knowledge, confidence, and character.
