At The Doon School, social responsibility is a vital part of education. While many projects are school- and house-led, an increasing number of boys are independently driving impactful initiatives from tackling substance abuse in slums and villages to creating micro-finance models, clean water solutions, and affordable housing materials. They raise their own funds and apply classroom learning to real-world challenges, developing sustainable models that uplift underprivileged communities.

The school also supports local village and slum schools through financial and academic assistance, extending its facilities to children from these areas. Many Old Boys continue this legacy, founding NGOs, serving marginalised groups, and leading social impact efforts across diverse professions, embodying Doon’s enduring spirit of service and responsibility.
