I write in the capacity of an ex-student ; I was there from 1967 to 1970 - the best four years of my life. I can proudly say that,as with thousands of us, whatever I am today is because of the education I gained at Oak Grove which will soon celebrate 125 years of existence.

It is a school that has carried some of the best traditions and even as an elite boarding school, entry was never restricted by reason of caste / creed /religion / status. Students have invariably emerged as good citizens and have done India proud, both within and outside the country.

Oak Grove, spread over three hillocks, including a glorious green valley, deserves World Heritage status in order to ensure that apart from its physical format, its intrinsic character is maintained for times to come.
