History

Founded by noted freedom-fighter Annie Besant in July 1898, with Dr. Arthur Richardson, a science graduate from England as the principal.[1], and went on to become the nucleus of Banaras Hindu University, which was established in 1915.

This school had run under graduation classes as a loaner for Banaras Hindu University which was founded by Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya and was still under construction. The charge of the Central Hindu College was handed over to the Hindu University Society on November 27, 1915. By a notification issued by the Government, in October 1917, the Central Hindu College became a constituent college of the newly formed university.[2] The Sayaji Rao Gaekwad Library (Central Library), BHU was first housed in the Telang Hall of the College in 1917.[3]

Noted theosophist, George Arundale joined the school as a history teacher in 1917, and later became the head of the school.
