An Institution Built to Shape Character
Shiva International Residential School represents the culmination of more than a decade of excellence from the Shiva Group of Institutions. With a curriculum focused on academic rigour, character development, and holistic growth, SIRS stands as Bilaspur’s first CBSE day-cum-boarding facility for students from Nursery to Class X.
Who We Are / Shiva International Residential School
Shiva International Residential School is the newest addition to the Shiva Group of Institutions, established in 2024. Built on the picturesque campus in Luhnu Kanaitan near Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, SIRS combines boarding excellence with rigorous academics to create an environment where every child can thrive.
We believe that education is far more than the transmission of knowledge. It is the cultivation of character, the development of the whole person, and the preparation of young minds to lead meaningful, purposeful lives. Our faculty and staff work every single day to ensure that every student who walks through our doors leaves as a more confident, curious, and compassionate individual.
Founded on the principle of “Mind, Knowledge, Soul,” SIRS offers a unique blend of traditional boarding values, contemporary teaching methodologies, and deep cultural rooting. We are committed to nurturing what we call the SIRStar—a student who is intellectually sharp, emotionally mature, socially conscious, and spiritually grounded.

The Campus / Set in the Himalayan Foothills
Our 8-acre campus in Luhnu Kanaitan is purpose-built for learning, growth, and personal transformation. Nestled in the serene Himalayan foothills with an elevation of 1,280 meters, the campus provides an ideal environment for academic pursuits, outdoor activities, and character formation. Every building, every playing field, and every corner has been thoughtfully designed to support the SIRS educational philosophy.
The SIRS Education / A School for the Whole Child
The SIRS education is rooted in the belief that every child is unique and every child deserves an education that honours that uniqueness. We combine the rigour of the CBSE curriculum with the flexibility to explore, create, question, and discover. Our classrooms are active spaces where students engage in project-based learning, collaborative research, and real-world problem-solving.
Beyond academics, we offer a rich programme in sports, performing arts, visual arts, and leadership. We believe in the power of structured play, outdoor education, and experiential learning. Our boarding programme fosters independence, resilience, and the ability to live harmoniously in a diverse community. We prioritise pastoral care, ensuring that each student has a trusted adult to guide them, listen to them, and support their growth.
Our Leadership / The Vision Bearers
At the heart of SIRS are leaders who are deeply committed to the school’s mission and invested in the lives of every student. Our leadership team brings together decades of experience in education, institutional management, and character formation.
With a vision born from decades of educational experience, Mr. Purushotam Sharma founded the Shiva Group of Institutions to create schools that bridge the gap between academic excellence and character formation. His leadership philosophy emphasizes holistic development and the potential within every child.
Mr. Rakesh Kumar brings a wealth of educational experience and a deep commitment to student welfare. As Principal of SIRS, he sets the tone for academic excellence, pastoral care, and the cultivation of the school’s values. His approachable leadership style and genuine interest in every student make him a trusted figure in the SIRS community.
