Number 1 International School in India
01, 1.1.2013
In September of 2012, Indus Bangalore was announced the number 1 International School in India, having moved steadily from position 3, to second , to # 1 in 2012. Indus Hyderabad came 11th in this category with Indus Pune 13th. IELC Hyderabad was #1; and IELC Bangalore ranked 3rd in the category of schools providing pre-school education.
Growth is a habit at Indus. Whether we add to our student numbers, establish more institutions, or invest in the number and quality of teachers, it cannot be denied that we have "walked the talk". In other words, we have extended our goals, we have stretched our horizon and we have as several teams, worked assiduously to gain the accolades that have come our way, year after year.
Our collective pride is great and justified. We celebrated with much happiness and felt gratified that everyone's effort, however large or small, had paid off. This was an indication of the strength behind our goals and to our learning from year to year. In November, at the celebratory dinner in Bangalore, we recognized the commitment, dedication and hard work of people who have been with the Indus family since inception or near it. There are scores of others, too many to name, who came after them and have contributed very significantly too.
It takes firm resolve to continue to succeed as well. When accolades come our way at Indus, and many have, especially in the recent past, many ask, "what now?" Where can we go after we have reached the top? After being declared the most respected and admired International School in India, what more can we do?
But then, we always believe that success is not a destination, it is a journey. So our journey must continue. Having celebrated and enjoyed our successes, we get up and get going. There is work to be done, records to break, other heights to conquer.
It is creditable to meet several of the 14 parameters of excellence, we must create new ones. The challenge is in seeking newer, higher goals; the joy is in the climb to achievement.
Effort is what is needed; effort is the only thing that counts. Effort has always got us where we wanted to be.
We can overcome, we shall achieve, we must continue to excel!
(This is the essence of the message brought to newly elected Leaders of The Indus Student Council at Bangalore, by Lt. Gen. Arjun Ray (Retd.), CEO of the Indus Trust on the occasion of The Ceremony of Investiture on January 26th, 2012)
