On some further investigation of Montessori philosophy of pre-schooling and its presence in India, I was able to find some useful information about the Montessori centers in India.
The center offers both online and offline diplomas in Montessori training. It was very fascinating to find that Maria Montessori spent some part of her adulthood in India (precisely in 1939). Dr. Montessori was ousted from Italy because of her liberal views in general and opposition to Fascism in particular.
The Indian Montessori Association has predominantly taken inspiration from the works of Dr. Montessori in India, Mr. Joosten and Mr. Swamy. The center is currently headed by Mrs. Meenakshi Sivaramakrishnan.
The center plans to expand its base all over India. has it's headquarters in the IT city of Bangalore, Karnataka. They mostly promote themselves as a policy making body with an intention to have satellite centers in the different parts of the country (they have successfully achieved that in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
