Ram Mohan English School, established in 1917, bears the distinction of being the country’s first ever co-educational school, which allowed boys and girls to study together within the same four walls. The school shut its doors back in 2005, much to the disappointment of its distinguished alumnus. Some eminent residents of the city who call the institution their alma mater have now decided to pool in their resources and rally for its revival.

Few takers: The school shut down in 2005 when the number of students declined.
