The word “NALAN” signifies the beautiful flower Lotus, while “DA” means to give. As the lotus symbolises knowledge, the name “NALANDA” represents the bestower of knowledge — reflecting our enduring commitment to education and enlightenment.

Inaugurated in 2007, Nalanda has grown into a respected educational institution located on Salem By-pass Road, set within an eco-friendly campus sprawling across 10 acres amidst serene mountains and lush greenery. The tranquil environment reflects our philosophy of learning in harmony with nature.

Nalanda International School is recognised for its state-of-the-art infrastructure and strong academic foundation. This journey of excellence has been shaped by the meticulous dedication and visionary leadership of the Correspondent, Mrs. Samundeswari Kongarasan.

Further strengthening the learning environment, the dynamic Managing Directors, Mr. Gowthaman and Dr. Puveearasan, introduced technologically enhanced learning facilities. Their collective vision has helped Nalanda evolve into a network of five institutions affiliated with both CBSE and Matriculation streams.

The NIPS Krishnagiri campus offers classes from K.G to Grade 12, delivering education aligned with international standards while remaining deeply rooted in traditional Indian values.

Beyond academic achievement, NIPS places equal emphasis on value education and character building. Students are guided to develop strong family values, meaningful relationships, and inner balance — enabling them to face life’s challenges with confidence, equanimity, and grace.
