Government Sadiq Dane High School, also known as S. D. High School, is a high school located in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan. [1] [2] It is the largest school in Bahawalpur with over 2000 students currently enrolled. The building of the school is well known for its clocks. [1] [3]
The S.D. High School building, completed in 1906, initially housed the first-ever college, named Sadiq Egerton College Bahawalpur, within the territory stretching from Bahawalpur to Sadiqabad and Mandi Mcleod Ganj in the Bahawalnagar district. [1] It bore the names of the late Nawab Muhammad Sadiq Khan Abbasi and Robert Eyles Egerton, then Lt Governor of Punjab. [1] Following the college's relocation in 1952-53, the building was repurposed for the S.D. High School, which moved from the nearby Government Technical High School. [1] It was initially known as Sadiq Darul Aqama. [4]
The building has a clock that was made by the Bing Bang Company of Britain. [5] The school was inaugurated by Louis Dane on February 13, 1911, and is named after him and Nawab of Bahawalpur. [5]
