“It’s great news that we have been ranked India’s #1 budget school for a record fourth successive year. It is a moment of pride for the entire school community and a proof of our steadfast commitment to the vision of our founder Late Walashan Mukarram Jah Bahadur, the VIII Nizam of Hyderabad. We are proud that the school has been awarded high scores on the parameters of sports and co-curricular education and internationalism. This is because we offer our children structured sports curriculums with professional coaching in cricket, football, basketball, athletics, and martial arts. Simultaneously, annual literary, cultural, and arts festivals provide a vibrant platform for students to showcase their talents in debate, public speaking, theatre, music, and visual arts. International collaborations, student exchange programmes, and celebrations of global events are on this year’s agenda” — M.A. Faiz Khan (left), Trustee, Mukarram Jah Trust for Education and Learning, Hyderabad (2,480 students and 140 teachers)
