Enduring Legacy

Christian Schools and Educational Institutions

One of the most enduring contributions of Christian communities in India has been in the field of education.

Christian schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries have played a significant role in expanding educational opportunities across the country. Institutions founded by Christian organizations have educated generations of Indians from all religious backgrounds and have contributed to the development of science, medicine, law, literature, and public service.
