And fifth and last, the Girls' School, the present provision in connection with which, though meagre, is more than sufficient to meet the requirements of female education as it is understood at Burdwan. All these Departments, with the exception of the Sanskrit School, are under the control of the Principal.

The disbursements in the different Departments aggregate annually about Rs. 23,246, they being entirely met by the munificent charity of His Highness the Maharaja Adhiraj Bahadur.

Education in its various phases is imparted gratuitously, several boys, in consideration of their extreme indigence, being found in money, besides being provided with free tuition.

Three Scholarships of Rs. 10 per mensem each, and tenable for two years, are annually awarded to the best amongst those successful F.A. candidates from the College who fail to secure Government Senior Scholarships to enable them to study for the B.A. Examination.

This College is the final outcome of the long-continued efforts of the late Babu Jaykissen Mukherji in furtherance of the cause of English education in Bengal. In 1846 he had a Government School opened at Uttarpara on the basis of an endowment by him and his brother, the late Babu Rajkissen Mukherji, of Rs. 1,200 a year, and a Government assignment of equal value. The School prospered, and won its way to the front rank among the schools in Bengal.

Babu Jaykissen's wish was that his School should ultimately expand into a College, and to this end, so long as the year 1853, he asked Government to raise the school to a first-class College, offering to contribute an equal sum with Government towards the maintenance of the College. In 1883 he submitted a proposal for the conversion of the School into a Second Grade College, offering to make an endowment for its support so that it might cost the Government nothing. The recently initiated educational policy of Government stood, however, in the way of his proposal being accepted, and it was accordingly not accepted.

He finally went up to Government in April, 1887, with a proposal for the establishment of an aided College in connection with the old Government School. Government accorded him permission to open such a College, but on the condition that he took the School off the hands of Government. He agreed to do so, provided Government left the School the material advantages it derived from its connection with Government. It took some time to settle the terms of the transfer, which was formally effected in March, 1889. The College and the Collegiate School were then under the management of a Board consisting of the Collector of Hughly as President, of Raja Pyarimohan Mukerji, C.S.I., and Babu Rasbihari Mukherji as representatives of the late Babu Jaykissen Mukherji, and of Babu Manohar Mukherji as representative of the late Babu Rajkissen Mukherji. Bat the Uttarpara School having been resumed by Government on 1st April, 1897, the College is entirely maintained and managed by its proprietor, Raja Pyarimohan Mukherji.
