VI — The Founder

Sh. Ved Parkash Chauhan

Founder · Oriental Academy · Afghan Street, Jammu

In 1960, on a quiet stretch of Afghan Street in Jammu, Sh. V.P. Chauhan opened the gates of Oriental Academy with a single conviction — that every child, regardless of background, deserves an education that prepares them not just for examinations, but for life.

What began as a small school has, over six decades, become one of Jammu's most enduring institutions — shaping generations of doctors, engineers, civil servants, soldiers, scholars, artists and parents.

His belief in character before credentials remains the school's compass to this day.

Office of the Principal

Revered Parents,

This year, ten of our Class 12 students were named on the J&K Board State Merit List.

Our Class 10 students also made us proud, with a 100% pass rate and 52 students crossing the 95% mark.

But this notice is not only about marks.

In 66+ years on Afghan Street, Oriental Academy has always believed that a school's real advertisement is the life its students go on to build.

Today, we make an exception.

Because these children deserve to see their names — and faces — in print.

With warm regards,

Vivek ChauhanPrincipal · Oriental Academy
