It’s a brilliant idea to rank India’s vintage schools over a century-old which are a valuable legacy of the country, separately. It’s logical that schools with ancient traditions and value systems are compared with each other rather than with new late 20th and early 21st century institutions. Over the past 130 years, Daly College has struck deep roots and developed well-established traditions while evolving into a mature trend-setting K-12 school that offers an optimal blend of valuesbased traditions and latest ICT (information communications technology) pedagogies. Our teachers and students are committed to continuous learning and institutional improvement. After my appointment as principal in April this year, we have resolved to give top priority to improving academic learning outcomes, sports education, adherence to our established value systems, life skills and foreign languages education. Moreover, we have introduced an innovative Immerse & Inspire programme under which all day scholars will become boarders for one month.
-says Dr. Gunmeet Bindra, the recently appointed principal of Daly College, Indore (estb.1882), ranked India’s #1 vintage day-cum-boarding school.
