Obituary

Here is the story about a legendary figure , Dr. O.P. Yadav, Founder Director, RPS Group of Institutions, was a ‘Changemaker’ in the truest sense of the word. Fondly called ‘Bauji’, the great visionary is credited with being among the pioneers in Haryana who lit the flame of education in the state bright and made the masses aware that the only way towards progress is through the realms of education. Taking inspiration from the dynamic persona of his father, Rao Pahlad Singh, he founded RPS Education Society in 1998 and steered Mahendargarh in the direction of becoming an Education Hub that found recognition across the country.

Born in village Kanina in Haryana on January 21, 1943, he was a child blessed with the spark to make impossible things possible. Actuated by his passion of serving his motherland, he initiated his career with Indian Air Force in 1962 and dedicated 15 prime years of youth to the forces. This braveheart fought for the nation in 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars too.

A true ‘Karmyogi’ as Dr. Yadav was, relinquishing Air Force never meant enjoying a slow-paced, post-retirement life. His fiery oratory found its rightful place in the Judicial System where he served Mahendergarh District for 32 years. Bauji was an epitome of courage and conviction. His life was an inspiring saga of commitment to education to which he devoted himself entirely and left an incredible legacy for generations to come.
