About us

Twenty-eight years of standing beside every school that dares to teach.

Founded in 1998 in Srinagar, the Private Schools Association of Jammu & Kashmir began as a handful of principals around one table. Today we are the region's largest education body — a united voice that protects school managements, lifts teaching standards and speaks for half a million students.

President's message

Dear Members of the Jammu & Kashmir Community and Our Esteemed Diaspora,

Warm greetings.

Jammu & Kashmir has always been a land of knowledge and resilience. In today’s changing world, education remains our strongest path to progress and dignity. As President of PSAJK, I am honoured to represent institutions dedicated to shaping the future of our children.

Our mission is to ensure that every child — across cities, towns, and remote areas — has access to quality education and equal opportunity. We are focused on strengthening access to education, teacher development, skill-based learning, and student well-being.

We also invite our diaspora to stay connected and support this shared vision through mentorship, collaboration, and meaningful contributions.

Together, let us build an inclusive, progressive, and future-ready education system for Jammu & Kashmir.
