History

The school was established by Babu Bisweswar Mitra on 5 January 1898. Initially it started with only five students. In 1901, Raja Peary Mohan Mukherjee became the first President of the school. After the recognition of Calcutta University in 1904, the school became famous. Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee and Sir Alexander Pedlar, the then Vice Chancellor, helped the institution to grant affiliation of the university. Bipin Chandra Pal, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Sir Bhupendra Nath Bose, Amritlal Bose visited Mitra Institution (Main) and became involved with its affairs. Another branch of the school was founded at Bhowanipure, Kolkata in 1905.[2]
