Shimla
Bishop Cotton School is organising an Inter-school English Elocution Competition for the schools in and around Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. This competition is being held every year for the past 26 years.
Objective: The aim of this competition is to encourage good English-speaking as an essential skill and an area of interest, at least two prizes will be awarded for each Division, Best Speaker and Most Promising Speaker. It also aims to provide a platform for the school students of Shimla to meet, interact and learn from each other.
Mr. B. L. Modi served as a teacher in Bishop Cotton School from October 1966 to July 1982. He was the Head of Department for Mathematics. He was also Housemaster of Ibbetson House. Mr. Modi was known for his punctuality and good turnout. He is very popular among Old Cottonians and the Board of Governors of the school. His lessons in Geometry were very well known and students had great regard for him. Mr. Modi, unfortunately, left us very suddenly in 1982, but his great legacy of knowledge and dedication lives on in the school and among his students. This competition has been initiated by the school in his memory and will continue to remind us and inspire us of his service to the school and to the students
