“It’s very gratifying to learn that Mayo College is ranked India’s #1 legacy boys boarding school again. I attribute this to the school being agile, anticipatory in responding to challenges and forward-looking in adapting contemporary technology and education practices. For instance we were one of the first schools to set up an Artificial Intelligence lab way back in 2019, and integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into the curriculum. We also recently hosted a higher education fair which saw the participation of 140 universities from India and abroad. It’s also reassuring that the school is top-ranked among all legacy schools on the parameters of sports and co-curricular education, infrastructure and quality of alumni. Since its founding in 1875 Mayo has been committed to providing holistic education balancing academic rigour with excellent sports and co-curricular education. Our 190-acre campus houses a museum and is equipped with excellent sports facilities including a nine-hole golf course, grounds for cricket, polo, equestrian sports among others.” — Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Surendra Kulkarni (centre), PVSM, AVSM, VSM, director of Mayo College, Ajmer (estb.1875; 750 boarders and 100 teachers).
