The Oriental Seminary started in 1829 by the educator Gour Mohan Addy, was the earliest privately ran, first-rate school for children of Hindu parents in Kolkata (then known as Calcutta).[1][2] It was open only to boys of Hindu parents.[3] It was possibly India’s first fully private school, as even Hindu School, Hindu College, and Hare school had to abide by certain government guidelines.[1] In earlier days, students wanting to study English had to go to the missionary schools, where they were subject to substantial religious influence. The establishment of a school for learning English, free from religious influences was a major contribution of Addy.[4]
Traditional Indian education centres which taught Sanskrit and/or Persian had started fading out.
