Lal Ded Memorial School is one of the oldest high schools in Srinagar, Kashmir, India. it is located on the bank of Jehlum River near 2nd Bridge Habba Kadal. The school is named after the saint-poetess Lalleshwari commonly known as Lal Ded and was built in the colonial form with the use of local techniques especially Kashmir wooden crafts and was considered as architectural heritage of the Kashmir.[1]
The student body is divided into four houses, represented by colours. Each student is allotted one of these houses upon entry into school. The houses are:
The houses compete against each other in academic and sporting disciplines, each contributing towards house points. The house with maximum points is declared the House Of The Year.
The building was demolished in April 2009 by a private builder in order to construct a shopping complex at the site. The stay order was issued by the High Court after the building was demolished. The school has been transferred to a much smaller building in the same area.[2]
