The house system is a traditional feature of schools. School is divided into subunits called ‘houses’ and each student is allocated to one house in the moment of the enrolment. Houses may compete with one another at sports and maybe in other ways, thus providing a focus for group loyalty.
A secondary feature of house systems is the competition between houses. For example, the traditional school sports day is usually an inter-house competition. Debating competitions and charity drives are also often organised along inter-house lines. Merit points for behaviour and academic achievement may also be totalled up for comparison between houses.
Total students are divided into four houses:

1. Ganga House – Blue Colour – Water is a treasure.
2. Bhagirathi – Green Colour – Education is the key to success.
3. Mandakini – Yellow Colour – Discipline is the biggest virtue.
4. Alaknanda – Red Colour – Honesty is the best policy.
