About MGD

The Maharani Gayatri Devi Girls' School, affectionately called M.G.D. was founded on 4th July, 1943, by Her Highness Maharani Gayatri Deviji.

It was founded with His Highness Sir Sawai Man Singhji of Jaipur as its Patron. The distinguished Patron, Founder, the eminent Members of the Board of Governors, along with the dedication and experience of the founder principal Miss Lillian G. Lutter, combined to establish this School from a very small beginning, to the stature and prestige it commands today as a premier centre of value based education and learning. The School began on the lines of the British Public School Pattern, preserving our own cultural and traditional values.

In order to mould and equip the students, they were drawn from homes steeped in the claustrophobic orthodoxy of the “Purdah Age Aristocracy”, to step out into the mainstream world with confidence, with a will to do their best and face situations brought about by the winds of change that swept across the globe and India, post World War II.

About Girls' Guild

Initiated in 1960, the Old Girls Association was started by Miss K Minakshi. It functioned sporadically. In the late 80s, with Miss Doongaji’s active support, it picked up momentum. Later, "The Old Girls' Association" was rechristened as "MGD Girls' Guild". In 1992, the executive committee was elected with the Principal as ex-officio President and Jane H. Singh (Batch of 1955) as Vice President, along with a team of volunteers. The Guild’s Constitution was drawn up. A quarterly newsletter "Guild Today" was launched with Manindra Kapoor (Batch of 1962) as the editor. The aim of the Guild is to keep the "MGD family bonding" alive and active. The Guild initiated the felicitation of reunion of the Golden Jubilee batches, marking 50 years and Silver Jubilee batches marking 25 years. Later in 2016 Ruby batches marking 40 years were also included in the celebrations. The first Guild Directory was compiled and published in 1993 on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the School. It was updated during the Diamond Jubilee year of the School in 2003.
The Guild’s Directory included the following:
a) Guild Constitution  
b) A comprehensive account of the aim of the Guild  
c) Functions of the committee members
As Rajmata Sahiba Gayatri Devi of Jaipur wrote in her message,
