GROWTH OF MODERN EDUCATION IN INDIA

    

    Modern Education in India

  First Phase{1758-1812} 

Initially, the East India Company was not interested in the development of education. Some minor exceptions were efforts by individuals.   

The Calcutta Madrasa establish by Warren Hasting in 1781, for the study of Muslim law.

The Sanskrit College established by Jonathan Duncan at Banaras in 1791, for the study of Hindu law and philosophy. 

Fort William College established by Wellesley in AD 1800 of Civil servants of the company in Indian languages and customs (closed in AD 1802).


             Second Phase (1813-1853)

For the first time, the British Parliament included in 1813 Chater, a clause under which the Governor-General-in-Council was bound to keep a sum not less than one lakh rupees, for the Education. However, the company used this fund for promoting the Indian language and literature. 

The Charter allowed the Christian missionaries to spread their religious ideas in India.

The greatest importance of the 1813 act was that the company for the first time, acknowledge state responsibility for the promotion of education in India.
