here - City Montessori School

Lucknow: City’s most revered City Montessori School has achieved another feat
to register it on global podium. A school that works on the principles of Gandhi
and aims at improving the heart and soul of its wards and the same school is
registered in Guinness book of world records for most number of students.
Winner of several international and national awards including UNESCO Prize for
Peace Education, CMS as it is known has Guinness world record of most number
of pupils. The founder of the school Mr. Jagdish Gandhi explains who he
managed to start the school with just 5 students back in 1965.
Mr. Jagdish Gandhi, Founder CMS said, “I am thankful to God for his grace and
blessings. We have achieved this feat because of our quality of education and we
try to inculcate knowledge based on physical, social and spiritual education. We
have developed this institution from scrap and progressed to this stage where
we are holding a student capacity of 45,000.”
A legacy that started with those five students has come a long way. Today the
school boasts of at least 20 campuses all across the Uttar Pradesh capital and a
reputation to reckon with.
Mr. Jagdish Gandhi, further added, “Interestingly, the data on which the
Guinness Book has awarded us belongs to the year 2010 when we had enrolled
39,000 students. At present there are 45,000 students rolled under CMS. But, we
have never compromised with our quality of education.”
People like Mr. Gandhi leave behind legends, inspiring initiatives that are difficult
to immaculate. But we hope such efforts find more takers in nation, which
desperately needs quality education that can serve a sizeable quantity of the
nation.
Sounds like a fantasy, but in this world of commercial materialistic education,
survives and thrives a school named City Montessori School in Lucknow that
strives to nurture souls of its students.
