ABOUT LA MARTINIERE COLLEGE
La Martiniere College, Lucknow, established in 1845, was founded in accordance with the Will of Major General Claude Martin. Born in Lyon, France, in 1735, the Founder died in Lucknow on 13 September, 1800. The day of his death, by his own instructions is commemorated as ‘Founders Day’. Under his Will, certain funds were allotted for the establishment of schools at Lucknow, Calcutta, and his birthplace in France, Lyon.
Today, La Martiniere College imparts instructions through the medium of English and admission to the College is eagerly sought. Over the span of one hundred and seventy-five years, the College has produced soldiers, sailors, and airmen who have done the school and their country proud in the two World Wars and in the wars of Independent India. It has also produced engineers, doctors, educationists, administrators, and outstanding sportsmen, now scattered across the globe. It counts among its illustrious alumni, men of War and Peace – the Keelor brothers awarded the Vir Chakra, for shooting down the Sabre jets in the Indo-Pak War (1965) and the Nobel Peace Laureate, Dr Rajendra Pachauri
On 1 October, 1995, the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the College, the President of India acknowledged the contribution of the College by releasing a postage stamp of the denomination of Rs 2,00, as a mark of honour. This, again, is a mark of distinction that only a few other institutions in India enjoy.

ABOUT BULLS' RING
A Business Conclave is an event where students, assuming the roles of entrepreneurs and businessmen and businesswomen, participate in a myriad of competitions meant to test their practical and theoretical knowledge of economics and business management.
La Martiniere Economics Society is proud to present the maiden edition of Bulls’ Ring an event to arouse and stir the inner businessmen and women of all those who desire to participate in a wide array of competitions to help them hone their skills of negotiation, persuasion, analysis and collaboration in an academically simulated business environment and to give them a platform to prove their mettle by providing solutions to real-world economic problems.
The name of the event, Bulls’ Ring, stems from the actual Bulls’ Ring at La Martiniere College, Lucknow. The Bulls’ Ring is a semi-circular enclosure where the boys of the College congregate to brainstorm about different ideas.
As La Martiniere College, Lucknow reaches its 175th year of celebration and celebrates, in spirit, its dodransbicentennial anniversary, we take great pride in announcing the inaugural edition of Bulls’ Ring. The name itself has its roots deep in the business world: a Bull Economy is one that is continuously on the rise and (a dream for every investor) while the term Ring (synonymous to an arena) reflects and symbolises the cut-throat competition of the corporate world.
Due to the spread of COVID-19, we have decided to have this event on an online platform bearing in mind the safety and well-being of all concerned
