LILA (KAK) BHAN

1953-58 - Siwalik Girls

Profession/position - Currently Headmistress of Progressive Education School at Indore.

The school's main thrust is to attain excellence in a non- threatening environment, create trust between students and staff and help children to be independent learners. Earlier taught for 10 years in a private school in the US and a couple of public schools in India.

"Enjoyed school thoroughly and appreciated all the opportunities it gave me, not only in academics but in extracurricular activities. One thing that really impacted me was the surroundings. Getting up for PT and feeling the nip in the air as we went for 'chota hazari', the sunset, the pine trees, the mountains, all the seasons…..we had quite a few good teachers who were dedicated, friendly and yet demanding--a great compilation. The special thing about Sanawar is that there is a common link between all OS, whatever the age group."
