Dear Member,
Wishing All of You a Very Happy, Healthy & Successful New Year.
It has been a fascinating & exhilarating 2019 for all of us at Didac, scaling up & achieving greater heights to cap of the decade with astounding success and I want to thank each one of you, members of the IDA family, for being an integral part in our progress and success.
We are proud to be a part of the constantly and rapidly evolving education sector and honoured that we are able to contribute to the education industry and bring the Indian educational & training institutions at par with global standards.
As we are heading into the year 2020, we are at the brink of a new decade that will define the future of a whole generation. We are going to witness some radical transformations in the education sector, in India & globally and IDA is committed to keep Indian Education aligned with these developments.
I still believe that plenty needs to be achieved in IDA’s evolution and I see next year lined up with many successes and great achievements.
I look forward to all of your support & good wishes.
