THE OLD SANAWARIAN SOCIETY

THE OLD SANAWARIAN SOCIETY (OSS®) is the alumni association of The Lawrence School, Sanawar. OSS® was founded in 1914 by Rev. George Dunsford Barne CIE OBE (Principal, 1912-1932). In its modern avatar, the OSS® formed a society with an executive headed by a president, the first of which was democratically elected in 1979 and over the last five decades, OS have stepped up and devoted their time and untiring effort into building the OSS® into an inclusive and contemporary organization with members swelling to over 6000 worldwide. The Executive Committee of the OSS® endeavors to foster camaraderie, transparency in its working and encourage active participation of members. In order to effectively manage this ever-growing fraternity and its global footprint, the OSS® operates eleven Chapters across India and 8 overseas.

PANKAJ SAPRU, the current OSS® Vice President, passionately began work in curating this epic collection in September 2020, setting a target of collecting 175 tales. His endeavor in right earnest received an overwhelming response from all members of the OSS® proving to be more rewarding and gratifying than he could possibly have imagined.
