We are proud to be ranked India’s #1 state govern-
ment school for the second consecutive year. This
“is because our dedicated and remarkable teachers
have gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the
holistic development of every student. Therefore, it’s very
satisfying that your sample respondents have awarded the
highest score for teacher competence. This is the outcome
of regular capacity-building programmes conducted by
us to train teachers in new pedagogies, ICT integration,
inclusive education, and online safety. Professional de-
velopment is also enabled by the State Council of Educa-
tional Research and Training. We will soon start training
our teachers in cutting-edge technologies such as AI and
robotics to prepare students for success in the new digital
age” — Bhavneet Kaur (centre), Principal, Govern-
ment Model Sr. Sec. School, Sector 16, Chandi-
