Royal College which started in year 1835 is celebrating its 175th anniversary in year 2010. Need not to say that this is a massive milestone and time to celebrate service rendered by Royal College to its past and present students, and to this country.
Royal Parade 2010 and “Party on the Street” will be happening on 3rd July 2010 as a part of 175th Anniversary Celebrations. This is a once in a life time event all the Royalists and Old Royalists can take part with their friends and families. If you a Royalist or an Old Royalist this is not an event to miss.

All Old Boys groups are requested to be present by 2:30 pm and line up from the Orient club to Lionel Wendt theater. Entrance ticket will cost Rs 600/=. It includes an “I Love Royal” sticker, Car Pass, Royal College 175th Anniversary Celebration Cap and a small souvenir. Participants are required to have the sticker pasted or wear the cap for identification. That will also facilitate the entrance to the party.
