I am happy and excited to learn that HPS, Begumpet
is ranked India’s #1 co-ed day legacy school in the
“comprehensive EW India School Rankings 2023-24.
This achievement is especially satisfying as this is our
centenary year marked by year-long celebrations. We
have just concluded a landmark three-day Centenary
HPS Educators Conference for over 500 HPS teachers,
featuring training workshops and panel discussions.
This unique conference underscores the importance we
accord to teacher welfare and development, a parameter
on which we have received a high score. Indeed the school
management has earmarked Rs.12-15 crore over the next
five years for professional development and upskilling
teachers. I am also pleased to note that HPS-Begumpet is
top-ranked among all legacy schools countrywide under
the quality of alumni parameter. Over the past 100 years,
the school has produced outstanding achievers including
star alumni Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, Ajay Banga,
president of the World Bank and Shantanu Narayen, CEO
of Adobe Systems. We are fully committed to building
on our rich legacy to nurture leaders with empathy and
competence to shape the new world” — Dr. Skand Bali,
principal of the Hyderabad Public School, Begum-
