Land use of the school was never formally determined as it was pre Independence, pre DDA days. However as building plans of the school were approved by MCD in 1970, DDA treats the land use as educational. The school has been allotted 4400 sq. mt. of the land There are some other buildings in this plot owned by HSS apart from the school.They provide a revenue support for the school. A major part of the land is occupied by the hostel and the lawn in front of the hostel building. There are 10 staff quarters in the plot as well.
