Abstract

[Years of conflict and chaos resulting from the partition of India into two countries, India and Pakistan, in 1947 to the riots of 1984 (the anti-Sikh riot of 1984 was a major watershed in the history of inter-community relationship in post-independent India. Scores of Sikhs were killed throughout the country, and this traumatic episode forms a painful part of the historical memory of the community), deeply affected the SKM and people associated with it. The school became a centre of extension education and professional education empowering young women. Later, due to socio-economic factors, the SKM was turned into a warehouse and remained like that until a few years. This was followed by the school getting recognition from Punjab School Education Board and becoming a co-education school allowing boys to gain education till the upper primary stage. The chapter also seeks to understand the ‘new’ location of the school post-liberalization when it had to compete with mushrooming English medium schools.]
