 Dr
Abraham Ebenezer has been the principal of
Bishop Cotton Boys School, Bangalore
since 1993. He obtained his M.A. (History) from
Mysore University. He was awarded his Ph.D. in Public History
in 1998 by the International University, Missouri, USA. To
begin with he was a government official after he passed the
Karnataka Administrative Service exam, but he didn't hold
the post for a long time. He decided to take up a teaching
position in college. His talents did not go unrecognised and
he was made the Deputy Director for Collegiate Education where
he was in charge of about 400 colleges in the State of Karnataka.
However, he was closely associated with Bishop Cotton Boys
School, first as a parent and then as the Vice Chairman of
the Board of Management. Later he became the Convenor of the
Education Committee. When there was a vacancy for the post
of principal at Bishop Cotton Boys School, Dr Ebenezer was
requested to take over. Ultimately, as a call, he took up
the post in the month of June 1993.
This dynamic man is the recipient of many awards: the Balshyog
National Award -1995, Rashtriya Gaurav Award -1995, Karnataka
Jyothi Award -1995, Ekta Shree Award -1997, Vijaya Ratna Award
- 1997, Environment Conservation Award -1997, International
Conservation Award -1997, and the Rashtriya Award -1997.

to the school such as the Elphick Park in 1994, the Warden's
Park in 1996, Pakenham-Walsh Block to house part of the Junior
