Mitra Institution (Main) Alumni Association
Our beloved Mitra Institution ( Main) founded on 5th January 1898 by Babu Bisweswar Mitra, a friend of Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee, Honorable Justice of Calcutta High Court. Initially it started with only five students. The initial address of new school with few rooms was 45 Beniatola Street ( now lane). During this year whole of India had only 5134 high schools. The total number of high school students were 530783. In 1901, Raja Peary Mohan Mukherjee of Uttarpara became the first President of the school. On his persuasion Sir Alexander Pedlar, the the Vice Chancellor of the University of Calcutta awarded the recognition from the University of Calcutta in 1904, the school became famous. Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee and Bipin Chandra Pal, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Sir Bhupendra Nath Bose, Amritlal Bose visited Mitra Institution (Main) and became involved with its affairs.
Gradually established as one of the most trusted name in school education in Calcutta. The credit goes to the then legendary teachers amongst them three were the son of our founder. This institution had observed it’s centenary during 1997. The Ex-students were meeting regularly and ritually during Saraswati Puja every year. On this auspicious day the alumnus of the school were interacting with each other forgetting their batch or year of stay with alma matter. They felt at the centenary year that we are deficient in having a forum. May be this is one of the reason the then authority of school could not involve the ex students at large. Our Mitra Institution Alumni Association was born.
