Doon was one of India's first "public schools." It was conceived by Satish Ranjan Das, a barrister and a member of the Executive Council of the Viceroy of India during the British Raj.
S.R. Das helped raise funds, and support, for a new school - one that was in the tradition of English schools, but which also cultivated a uniquely Indian identity. Mr. Das set up the nonprofit Indian Public Schools (IPS) Society in 1929, in order to organize and establish the school. Unfortunately Mr. Das died in 1928, before he could see the fruits of his vision, but his wife and friends continued to collect funds to help establish the school.
On September 10, 1935, seventy-two boys moved into the ivy covered, red brick buildings vacated by the Imperial Forest College. The school was formally inaugurated on October 27, 1935, by Lord Willingdon, who was then the Governor-General of India, and thus the school celebrates Founder's Day in October of every year.
