The school has a robust Student Council System to identify, train and empower students to become future leaders. The students from Classes IV-V in Primary Wing and VI-XII are appointed to various posts after they undergo intensive selection. The selected students are assigned posts as per their skills and abilities. They undergo vigorous physical and mental edification to inculcate and hone leadership and life skills.
The School Student Council board is headed by the School Captain who is the President of the Student Council selected from Class XII and by the Junior School Captain selected from Class V. They are ably assisted by Captains and Prefects. Together they aid the faculty in organizing various events and are assets to the institution.
The students who apply for selection to the Student Council attend an intensive leadership camp and training session. The camp includes various team building and planning activities conducted under the able guidance of skilled instructors and coordinators. Various life skill sessions on Time Management, Decision Making, SWOT Analysis, Moral Values and Etiquettes, Framing a Code of Conduct etc. are also conducted. The students stay at the chosen camp site under the supervision of the faculty eating sleeping, enjoying and interacting with each other and learning basic life skills. These sessions bring out their latent talents and help in their grooming.

HOUSE SYSTEM
The School House System forms the bedrock of peer learning and develops the students towards taking ownership of the house/school, promoting collaborative competition and foster healthy relationships across wings: Junior, Secondary and Senior Secondary. It provides students opportunity to move beyond the confines of their classrooms and cohorts into wider student community spanning across grades and age groups and subject streams. The House System fosters sociability, compassion, team work and healthy competition, giving students a sense of belonging to the school community. DPSGI has four Houses named after the holy rivers of India that are symbol of life and motivation.
The river Cauvery has been serving as the life blood of ancient kingdoms and modern cities and has been held in great reverence since centuries. The House derives its name from the river which has been the elixir of life. The house is represented by yellow, the colour symbolizing light, energy, vivacity, joy, positivity and rejuvenating forces of nature. Creativity, joyful participation, innovation, zest and team spirit is the signature of this house.
The students participate enthusiastically in the activities and competitions and the teachers guide and facilitate them not only to hone their own skills and talents but also to be valuable members of the society. Man y students have left their mark with their laudable achievements and they continue to encourage their juniors.
Satlej is the longest of the five tributaries of the river Indus. Born from the ephemeral streams in Tibet, it flows through the historic crossroads of Punjab and Pakistan bestowing bounties on innumerable people and places along its course. The beautiful spirit of this river that sustained the Indus Valley Civilization is captured in the Green colour that marks this house. Students exhibit freshness, vivacity, harmony and the qualities of steadfastness and good-will.

They participate in all the activities with fortitude, reliability and compassion with the teachers mentoring them on the desired goals.
The enthusiasm and fervour of the house are electric and motivates all students to work on the path of excellence.
Beginning its holy journey from the Gangotri Glacier of the Himalayas, the river Yamuna makes its adorable presence felt all over Northern India. Being a tributary of the river Ganga, it reflects the spirit of the mighty river and rejuvenated life all along. Red is the representative color of this house. Qualities associated with red like passion, courage, vivacity, ambition and determination are reflected by the members of the house.
