This was announced as part of its year-long centenary celebrations.

The school will be organising a Grand Finale of the centenary celebration between December 24 and 27, 2023. The four-day Grand Finale will feature a fundraising initiative, aiming to raise Rs 17.5 crore for a state-of-the-art green field multi-utility sports centre. This is part of the school’s Vision 2050 to raise Rs 150 crore for development plans.

“The school is in the process of constructing an Innovation Centre projected at a cost of Rs 10 crore, like T-Hub, to foster entrepreneurship and innovation culture at the school-level itself, generously funded by HPS Alumni. Spanning 15,000 square feet, this unique facility stands as a pioneering project, making HPS the sole school in the country to boast such an achievement. The faculty will actively encourage hands-on learning experiences in robotics and AI (Artificial Intelligence) within this centre,” said a press release by the institute.
