Minerva Public School, Barnoti, is committed to building an institution where academic excellence, sports excellence and character development come together.
We believe education is not limited to examinations. It is about helping students discover their abilities, develop discipline and confidence, think independently, participate actively and grow into responsible citizens. Our approach combines strong academic foundations, traditional values and modern learning practices.
Strong knowledge and sound values form the foundation of meaningful education — while students must also be prepared to adapt to a changing world. Our approach brings together:
"A pioneer in any field charts a course of change." Minerva has worked to bring new-generation education with high academic standards to the Barnoti–Kathua region.
Established under the leadership of Er. MahiPaul Sharma, Chairman, Minerva Educational and Research Trust.
Founded on his educational vision and supported by professionals from diverse fields — educationists, doctors, lawyers and more.
Recognised by the Central Board of Secondary Education (Affiliation No. 730099), offering classes from Nursery to Class X.
An environment where students receive opportunities to learn, participate, compete, achieve and grow into confident individuals.
The foundation of Minerva Public School is deeply connected with the vision, values and inspirational thoughts of Late Prof. Sat Pal Sharma. He believed education should do more than provide academic knowledge — it should develop character, encourage independent thinking and prepare young people to contribute positively to their families, communities and the nation.
For him, education was a means of developing complete human beings — individuals who could think clearly, act responsibly and face life's challenges with confidence. His vision became the inspiration for establishing Minerva in 2015, to give children in and around Kathua quality education in a progressive and nurturing environment.
