Bishop Cotton School, Shimla

The OCA (UK) association is a very special association of Old Cottonians the archived history of this org. expresses silently yet strongly what our great school meant to all of us and what it is all about.

India today is on the path to stellar heights; the goodness, education and knowledge we received at Bishop Cotton School from 1859 till today is a testament to the contribution of Old Cottonians to all verticals of industry, the armed forces and to charity worldwide…!

The rapid change in digital communication felt by many is the answer and solution to making ours and other’s lives better… true … but meeting Cottonians at physical get togethers like the OCA ( UK ) luncheon last Saturday 28th June 2025 in London is still very important to come back into the bubble of our great institution for brief and special moments completing yet another milestone, another full circle that creates ripples reaching out to our global brotherhood  “our old boys network”
