The Official Mayo College Website Launched
     New Delhi, November 19 (2000)

The 18th of August was a landmark in the History of Mayo College. It was a day of great celebration and rejoice as the Old Boys and Old Girls reunited at The Park, New Delhi to witness the launch of the official website of Mayo College - http://www.mayocollege.org/

Alumni excitedly registered themselves at the counter where the website was displayed. These details, stored in the database of the website, instantly opened their doors to all their previous classmates.

The website powered by Olive e-Business Pvt. ltd. talks in detail about the history of the College right from its foundation devoting a page individually to the era of each principal’s reign. The conversion of a school of stately heirs with dozens of servants, food tasters, horses and elephants to the modern age of democracy and equality, where Mayo College has adopted the role of a well-endowed public school open to all makes interesting reading. Its route peppered with interesting events like the college’s polo field serving as landing grounds for the first commercial flight of India and a consent to the new found Congress Party's request to hold its annual session within Mayo precincts.

The history section of the website salutes the old stalwarts who spared no efforts to the preservation, survival and subsequent rebirth of Mayo. The origin and concept of the Coat of Arms that was conceived by a luminary no less than Mr. Lockwood Kipling, father of the famous Rudyard Kipling has also been fascinatingly captured.

An exhaustive and vivid gallery of the buildings, Houses, uniforms, activities, teaching staff, college groups, principals, presidents of the general councils, prominent visitors and teachers of the College from inception to date promises to be a source of delight to every surfer visiting the site - Mayoite or not.

The alumni section is the one that offers maximum potential with links to the list of alumni registered, news about them, their contributions to the site content and also chat between registered alumni. The website also offers the convenience of job opportunities and online shopping of memorabilia, books, CDs and postcards. A site search and site map completes the fascinating package.
