A person was very important in the story of Indian schools. This person was very smart and good at many things. They were a math expert, a lawyer, a judge, a teacher, and a builder of schools. They were born in 1864 and started out loving math, which they were very good at early on. Their time as a lawyer went well, showing how smart they were and how much they cared about fairness. But, they really made a big change in how schools were run. They were in charge of Calcutta University for many years, starting in 1906. They changed the school a lot by adding higher level classes and research. They helped start new parts of the school for science, art, and technology. People who worked with them talked about how they had great ideas and always wanted the school to be the best it could be. Because of them, the school became a top place to learn in India. They took on problems without fear, always putting learning and helping students first. They were so dedicated that even when they had to do legal and office work, they still made time for school studies. This person died in 1924, leaving behind a legacy that still pushes teachers and students to do their best. They truly showed what it means to be curious and to build great schools in India.
