Why the name matters

A hundred years of Birla, now in Bhopal

Birla Open Minds is an initiative of Birla Edutech Limited, a Yash Birla Group company. What arrives at Neelbad is not a new school. It is a curriculum, a teacher-training system and a set of standards that a network has already proven.

In Bhopal the school is promoted and managed locally by the CI Group (CI Honda, CI Mahindra, CI Motors, CI Builders and CI Capital) through CI Educational Society Samiti, in partnership with Birla Edutech Limited.
