Oberoi House from across Skinners, Doon.
The Doon School, one of India’s first public schools, owes its existence to the vision, foresight and dream of Honorable Mr. Satish Ranjan Das, one of pre-independent India’s most eminent barristers and a member of the Executive Council of the Viceroy of India.
With support from a wide range of eminent Indians of that time the Indian Public Schools Society was registered as a non-profit making body under the Indian Companies Act in 1929. Unfortunately, Mr. S.R. Das passed away in 1928. Thereafter his wife and friends collected funds to start the school in September 1935. The society was fortunate to be able to take over the Chand Bagh Estate in Dehra Dun from the Indian Forest College and to acquire the neighbouring Skinners’ Estate from the family of the well known Col. Skinner of Skinner’s Horse.
