Maharaja Sir Churachand Singh, KCSI, CBE, picked up among others, a variety of modern games while he was studying at the Mayo College, Ajmer from 1895 to 1901 and later up to 1907 at the Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College (now called the Rastriya Military College), Dehradun. It may be recalled that the Mayo College was established in 1875 with a view to educate young rulers and nobles of India. In these institutions football, hockey, volley ball, lawn tennis, horse riding etc. were some of the main disciplines taken up.
