Our condolences to the Anand Family on the passing-on of Mr. DC Anand.
The following sad message received via Ms Kennedy – OC’s Coordinator at BCS on October 25th 2024:
“It is with the greatest sadness we announce the passing of Old Cottonian and BCS Governor Mr Deep C Anand today (he died peacefully in his sleep).
Our deepest condolences to his wife Kiran and his entire family, and the many people who loved him around the globe.
A two minute silence was held in his honour this morning at the Sports Day parade, and we will be holding a chapel service at 5pm. It’s a big loss for all of us, may God grant him eternal peace. Rest In Peace Sir.”
Deep Anand was The Driver of so many productive initiatives for the OCA, apart from the business empire he built.
He gave the OCA a life and a momentum that never flagged under his stewardship. It flourished.
He has our abiding gratitude and our thanks
While may he rest in peace, Heaven will be another place with his forceful presence!!
God bless him.

Really sad to hear about the demise of our much respected Sh Anand.He was gem of a person, very hard working and committed to every couse of the cottonians and the school.I think i met him once or twice at Gymkhana club during the oc meet in the early nineties.We all need to continue on the path shown by him.That is going to be a true tribute to him.
My heartfelt condolences to all.May his soul rest in peace.
Deep condolences to the family.May the almighty rest his soul in peace.
Deep will always remembered by not only the Old Cottonians but also thousands of people for whom his companies created jobs in India. Our deepest condolences to his family and the entire ANAND GROUP. We in USA will always be grateful for the efforts DC made to keep the OCA going. Thank you DC ! Ranjit Bhandari: RIVAZ: 1948-1951
think we can call DC Anand the father figure of the OCA India.It was he who brought about some semblance and professionalism in our Association,by specially hiring Col SM Jain as the Secretary just to run the OCA India.His generosity towards our Association was well known.All those wonderful lunches and AGMs held at 1 Aurobindo Marg are events not to be forgotten.Had the opportunity to meet him many times.May his soul rest in peace,and may God bring strength to his family to bear this irreparable loss.Om Shanti Om.
K.Vijay Singh.
