As a school we are waiting for normalcy to prevail and the lockdown to be lifted so that we could welcome our students back into our folds and colour their impressionistic years with hues rich and varied.

God willing, together we shall soon accord Guru Ram Dass Academy Ludhiana, a place of pride among city schools
