I am pleased though not surprised that Daly Col-
lege is ranked India’s #1 legacy day-cum-boarding
“school for the second year consecutively. This
is well-deserved because the school has successfully
built upon its rich history and legacy to transform into
a contemporary, progressive K-12 institution provid-
ing world-class all-round education. I believe our top
ranking is the outcome of Daly College’s shift towards
wholly student-centric education. In particular our
highest score under the important parameters of
faculty competence, curriculum and pedagogy (digital
readiness), individual attention to students, leader-
ship and mental and emotional well-being services
are especially satisfying. Our highly qualified teachers
are continuously trained and empowered to deliver
the curriculum and lessons innovatively. And their
role transcends academics to mentoring and ensuring
children’s mental and emotional well-being. This is
the consequence of our philosophy of student-centric
education” — Dr. Gunmeet Bindra, principal, The
Daly College, Indore (estb.1870)
