About YPS
The genesis of YPS, as a matter of fact, lies in the Aitchison College, Lahore (the only Public School in Pre-Partition Punjab). On 2nd February 1948 the school started functioning with a meagre strength of 21 students and 9 teachers, with RaiBahadurDhani Ram Kapila as the Principal. The school was an improvement on Aitchison College in that there was no social restriction on the admission of students.
