🙏🏾 Condolence Message🙏🏾

It is with profound sorrow that we inform the Cambrian Hall Alumni community of the passing of our fellow Cambrianite, Neel Rattan Chopra.

Capt. S. Chadha (1st Student of Cambrian Hall) fondly remembers Neel and writes: "Neel Rattan Chopra studied in Cambrian Hall around 1959 in his early schooling days; thereafter he joined Doon School. He was a class junior to me. Neel’s bua, Mrs. Mehta, was a family friend of my mother, and as such, I spent my afternoons after school at 1 EC Road, his family home. His sister Monika (Student) and mother Aunty Chopra (Teacher) later joined Cambrian Hall Dehradun.

I again met Neel in London in 1996, where he was a Chartered Accountant, and our association continued, meeting up frequently for social occasions.

Sadly, after Neel’s wife Jane passed away, he developed Parkinson’s and went into a Retirement Home. I had the good opportunity to visit him a few times, and it was a great pleasure to be with him, although the circumstances were different. He was truly a thorough Gentleman and the nicest person I have ever met in my life.

It is sad his mother in India and wife in England were dying at the same time, and he could not come for his mother’s last rites. I hope they are all together now and showering blessings on their children Preeya (Daughter) & Rohan (Son) and their families."

The Cambrian Hall Alumni Association extends its deepest condolences to the Chopra family during this difficult time.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

The Cambrian Hall Alumni Dinner 2025 was truly an evening to remember. Cambrianites from 9 countries across the world and 23 cities within India came together, making it the best-attended alumni dinner to date, with representation spanning batches from 1968 to 2014. The excitement, energy, and camaraderie were simply next level.

As Cambrianites arrived on the evening of Saturday, 20th December, at the Mainwaring Auditorium, each one was warmly welcomed with their CH Alumni name badge, setting the tone for a memorable evening ahead.

The Mainwaring Auditorium looked resplendent, draped in gold and black, illuminated beautifully, and proudly adorned with the Judha, Edwards, Doutre, and Mainwaring House flags—instantly transporting everyone back to their cherished Cambrian Hall days.

A Golden Reunion for the Class of 1975 and ICSE 1975, celebrating 50 years of lifelong bonds
A Silver Jubilee Celebration for the Class of 2000, commemorating 25 glorious years

From cake-cutting ceremonies to heartfelt stories and shared memories, it was a magical walk down memory lane for everyone present at the Mainwaring Auditorium, Cambrian Hall Dehradun

The dance floor came alive as Cambrianites from every era let loose and shook a leg—an absolute sight to behold!

The excitement peaked with 10 fantastic raffle prizes, drawing loud cheers, laughter, and beaming smiles all around.
