Main Building of The Doon SchoolThe Doon School Old Boys' Society is the alumni association, and students become members upon graduation.
The Doon School is a boys-only academically selective boarding school in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, founded in 1935 by Satish Ranjan Das[1] The school's first headmaster was Arthur E. Foot, who had spent some nine years as a science master at Eton College, England.[2] The old boys of Doon are known as Doscos, and the alumni body is represented by The Doon School Old Boys' Society. Admission to the school is based on a competitive entrance examination and an interview.[3][4]
Doon remains a boys-only school despite continued pressure from political leaders to become coeducational.[5] However, girls are admitted in case they are daughters of the school staff (see entries for sculptor Latika Katt and actor Himani Shivpuri).[6][7] Although the total number of Doscos is relatively small (estimated at 5,000 since the school was founded in 1935), they include some of India's prominent politicians, artists, writers, social activists and businesspeople.[8]
