Kolkata-based Hindu School was established in 1817 by stalwart educationalists such as Maharaja Radhakanta Deb, David Hare, Diwan Baidya Nath Mukherjee and others to impart modern education in English.
Its academic prowess soon earned the school the title of the ‘Eaton of the East’.
The bicentenary celebrations were flagged off by President Pranab Mukherjee who was the Chief Guest during the inaugural function held in January.

In his speech, President Mukherjee highlighted on the importance of quality of education and said that India has not seen a home-grown Nobel laureate for long.
A short film on the school's history was screened and a First Day Cover was unveiled by the Post Master General.

Some of the distinguished alumni present at the function were Ashok Lahiri, Arun Chandra, Dr I S Roy, Dr Sukumar Mukhopadhyay, Dr Gautam Khastogir, Partha Sengupta, and Dr Siddhratha Chattopadhyay.
