EMINENT YADAVINDRIANS

Yadavindrians outshine all others when it comes to representation, be it Armed forces, politics, civil services or any other diverse fields. Even after four decades many of their track & field records remain unbeaten at the ‘All India Inter Public School Athletic meets’. A score of 13-0 win in hockey over a renowned public school in the hills is also a record of sorts.
