Over the last 26 years, with over 100+ Schools and Preschools across India, the GD Goenka Group has become a trend-setter in quality education from Pre school/Kindergarten to Post-Graduate education. Its foray into innovative education began in 1994 to commemorate the memory of the late Smt. Gayatri Devi Goenka, mother of the Chairman, Mr. A. K. Goenka. Starting with barely 23 students in its first year at the first school, the G. D. Goenka Public School in Vasant Kunj, today fosters an enriched educational life for over 2500 students. The school takes pride in having introduced many firsts: the first centrally air-conditioned school offering the most hi-tech gym with Life Fitness equipment (set up in 2000); the first to introduce the air conditioned buses with communication facilities, toilets with sensory taps and Mineral Water Dispensers in Indian schools. With the latest educational aids, equipment and amenities, set up to uphold the highest standards in education, hygiene, safety & security, this model has been replicated in each school owned by or affiliated with the GD Goenka Group both in India and internationally. With global collaboration and affiliation at the core, the GD Goenka Education City, includes the G. D. Goenka World School with children representing over 30 countries and offering the IB and IGCSE curriculum, the GD Goenka World Institute, in partnership with Lancaster University, UK and the GD Goenka University that builds leaders of tomorrow, through specialized Schools of Architecture & Planning, Communication, Engineering, Fashion & Design (in collaboration with the famous Politecnico Di Milano School of Italy), Hospitality (in collaboration with Le Cordon Bleu), Humanities & Social Sciences, Law (Approved by the Bar Council of India), Management, Education and Medical & Allied Sciences. The addition to the galaxy of institutions, the GD Goenka Lá Petite Montessori and GD Goenka Toddler House chain of preschools.
