Salwan Public School is a public school in New Delhi, India. This school has branches in Old Rajendra Nagar and Mayur Vihar III in New Delhi and in Sector 15 in Gurugram. The Old Rajendra Nagar branch was the first branch that was launched, and is an important landmark in the Rajendra Nagar and Karol Bagh localities. The Mayur Vihar branch was listed as second among the top ten schools in East Delhi, in 2012.[1]

The school is registered under Delhi administration [2] To increase awareness about Delhi Metro, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation dedicated a pillar on Pusa Road to this school and for its children to do decoration work.[3] This school was in news for bad reasons, including a steep hike in school fees.[4] The school was established in 1953 by the late Pandit Girdhari Lal Salwan. The Government of India recognized his services towards society by releasing a postal mark in his honour on December 25, 2011.[5]

The Mayur Vihur campus organized a colorful art parade for Independence Day in 2014, inviting participation from all schools within 20 kilometres (12 mi). The school art presentations started at the gates of the school and proceeded for 10 kilometres (6.2 mi).[6]

The Gurugram branch also houses a museum[7] with a diverse collection of manuscripts, artifacts, coins and textiles from all over the world, and a mini zoo[8], which is home to a few ducks, rabbits, parrots, parakeets, a variety of pigeons and fish.
