Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Gandhi Nagar, has been renamed after its former principal, Late Kuldeep Kumar Badyal. The institution will now be known as “Shri Kuldeep Kumar Badyal Memorial Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Gandhi Nagar.”

The renaming was announced during a formal ceremony in which Education Minister Sakina Itoo unveiled the new name plaque and paid tribute to the late educationist.

Kuldeep Kumar Badyal served as the principal of this institution and was widely respected as a distinguished educationist. He was tragically killed by a criminal inside the school premises in February 1999.
