Positioned midway along the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack corridor at Adhalia, Phulnakhara, Delhi Public School Kalinga was established in 2003 as a mission of the VidyaJyoti Trust in association with the Delhi Public School Society - one of India's most recognised school networks. Over two decades, the campus has grown into a landmark institution serving families from both cities, sitting on a sprawling 25-acre lush green site that sets it apart from most urban schools in the region. In 2017, Education Today ranked DPS Kalinga as the Number 1 school in Odisha and Number 8 among the top 20 CBSE schools across India at the India School Merit Awards held in Bangalore.

Affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education, the school offers continuous education from Pre-Nursery through Class 12. The curriculum goes beyond textbook instruction - the school follows the DPSK Programme framework, which structures both scholastic and co-scholastic learning across all classes. A dedicated Aptitude Test is conducted for Class 11 Science admissions, and achievers are recognised annually through a structured scholastic awards programme. The school is also associated with NCC and Bharat Scouts, giving students pathways into disciplined extracurricular engagement from the middle school years onwards.

The 25-acre campus includes air-conditioned classrooms, a full-sized amphitheatre, an AV hall, dedicated Dance, Music and Art rooms, a swimming pool, a park and playground, a cafeteria, and a health and wellbeing centre. A fleet of 85 liveried buses covers transport routes connecting the school to Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and surrounding localities. Co-scholastic activities - including Fancy Dress, Best Out of Waste, and Mock Parliament events - are a structured part of the school calendar, with results and achiever lists published each academic session on the school website.

Admissions for the 2026-27 session are currently open, with registration forms available at dpskalinga.edu.in. Online fee payment is also supported through the school's portal.
