City-based school Gitanjali recently featured on the online magazine, Education World’s C-Fore survey of the top most respected schools in the country. Coming in at the eighth place along with Smt Sulochanadevi Singhania school in Thane, Mumbai, Gitanjali school’s national ranking also equates to being the first most respected school in the State and the third most in South India. After shortlisting about 400 schools across 16 cities, the survey had the schools ratified by a specifically categorised group of 2044 socio-economic parents, educators and principals based on 14 parameters of holistic educational excellence including competence of the faculty, individual attention to students, teacher-pupil ratio, leadership/management quality, parental involvement, infrastructure, co-curricular activities, sports education, quality of education, academic reputation, quality of alumni, disables friendliness, value for money, teacher welfare and community service. Schools were also ranked in three different categories: day schools, boarding schools and international schools. Gitanjali school was listed under the day school category. Principal of Gitanjali Devshala, Madhvi Chandra who received the award for the ranking in Delhi, says, “The school is really excited especially since we moved up one rank compared to last year. In fact last year when we were ranked, we didn’t even know about it until old students from Bangalore called us, all excited to see the school ranking.”Principal Chandra has been in her post for the past nine years at the 25 year-old Gitanjali school.
