Welham Girls School Dehradun Uttarakhand

About Welham Girls School

Welham Girls School established , chosen by Miss Linnell, embodies the essence of the Welham Spirit: Aartt Shanti Phala Vidya –The aim of knowledge is to bring peace. The school aims at developing in its students a sense of discipline and a spirit of service and fair play while inculcating the best of Indian culture and tradition in its students.

In 1957 when she (Ms Linnell) herself was 57 years of age. Knowing she would not have a very long tenure, she doubled the pace of her work from the first day and took on challenges, which to any other would be insurmountable. To be asked to start a residential school for girls on the lines of a public school with just Rs. 10,000 and two separate rented houses was to ask for the impossible. Miss Linnell, however, was undaunted and worked with superhuman energy to create, within a very short period, an outstanding girls’ residential school in the country. In her, we saw the selfless worker that the Bhagwad Gita talks about. She worked hard day and night with never an eye on what she should gain.
