It gives me pleasure to share that Tech Mahindra Foundation has been successfully operating the Institute since March, 2013 in collaboration with EDMC. The Institute which started with sharing some rooms in one of our schools in East Delhi now resides in an independent building of EDMC fully equipped with state of art teaching aids. I have reasons to believe that the joint effort thus far has moved in the right direction and has made a positive impact on Professional Development of our teachers. I trust that this association of EDMC with Tech Mahindra Foundation in years to come shall make visible contributions in enhancing the learning ability of children in our schools.
    With Warm Regards,
