Lilian G. Lutter

Lilian G. Lutter was a British educationist who spent most part of her career in India. She was the founder principal of the Maharani Gayatri Devi Girls' Public School, the first all Girls school in the state of Rajasthan, an institution founded by Gayatri Devi of Jaipur with 24 students in 1943. She was honoured by the Government of India in 1970 with Padma Shri, the fourth highest Indian civilian award.
She was honored with the title of OBE for her services to education in 1976
Legacy: To this day, MGD Girls’ School Jaipur is regarded as one of the premier institutions for girls in India, thanks to the groundwork she laid. Many alumnae of the school remember her as a strict, fair, and inspiring principal who instilled high standards of conduct and learning.
Miss Lutter remains a celebrated name in the history of Indian schooling — both for her pioneering role and for being ahead of her time in advocating holistic education for girls.
