NDLI: The Hindu College

Content Provider	Presidency Alumni Association Calcutta
Author	Majumdar, Ramesh Chandra
Description	The establishment of the Hindu College in Calcutta in January 1817, is the first great landmark in the history of English education in India. A section of the people in Calcutta must have acquired a working knowledge or smattering of English for purposes of trade with the merchants in the 17th—18th century, and this knowledge must have improved and more widely spread when the British became virtual rulers of Bengal after 1765. Though we do not hear of any regular institution in Calcutta where the Bengalis could learn English, there is no doubt that even before the end of the 18th century, its cultural value was being gradually appreciated.
