Government Mohindra College

Mohindra College was the first institution in Punjab to receive A++ grade from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council of the Government of India.

Then Viceroy of India Lord Northbrook laid the foundation stone for the main building of the college in 1875.

Shri Atul Krishna Ghosh was the longest serving Principal and instrumental in most of the early development works of this college.

To make way for his British successor E Candler who was a journalist basically and was based in Bengal then and also his life was in danger from revolutionaries, Sri Ghosh was transferred to Muir College, Allahabad.

He wrote several books and commentaries but because of later days association with the freedom movement, Britishers underplayed, suppressed and destroyed his records of achievements.
