Armenian College (Kolkata)

The Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy of Kolkata is commonly known and called Armenian College, Calcutta. The institution was founded by members of the Calcutta Armenian Community primarily to educate their own children. The Armenian College has played a distinguished and important role in the preservation and spread of Armenian culture throughout the world. For almost its entire history, the Armenian College has been the only institution in the East designed to educate Armenian children alone. The pupils of the Armenian College have distinguished themselves in business, commerce, science and the arts.
==Origins==
Margar Hovhannisian is considered to be a pioneer in establishing schools for Calcutta's Armenian students, educating them from 1763 in his own home. As was the custom in those early days in Calcutta, many private individuals were opening private schools for the education of the children of the growing township and there were several schools run by Armenians at which Armenians and other children were educated. Reports of a school established by Harutyun Galutsian appeared in 1798, but by no means proves that there were no other schools running at the same time. The Armenian Seminary of St. Sanducts at Sukias Lane, existed even prior to 1851, when a report of its examinations (in 1851) appeared in the local Calcutta Press, "The Friend of India". Like many compatriots, Astvatsatur Muradghanian left Rs. 8000 in his will dated 30 July 1797, towards the establishment of a school for the education of Armenian Children. Some writers incorrectly state that he could have left money to establish an "Armenian College" when the name itself was not even decided at the time of his death. Later, another Julfa born merchant, Manatsakan Sambat Vardanian of Saidabad in 1816, published a pamphlet "Hravirak" through which he urged his compatriots to donate money for establishing a school for Armenian children. He managed to collect Rs. 59,583. In a petition to the Calcutta High Court in Suit No. 286 of 1879, the elders of the Armenian Community including Sir Gregory Charles Paul. the Advocate General of Bengal, informed the Court that prior to the year 1818 subscriptions and contributions were obtained from various Members of the Armenian community in Calcutta towards the foundation and support of a School in Calcutta for the education and maintenance, gratuitous and otherwise of children born of parents belonging to the Armenian community, and that with the money so obtained in or about the year 1818, a school or institution for the above-mentioned purposes was established in Calcutta. Thereafter at a General Meeting of the Armenian Community at Calcutta on 2 April 1821, the Rule and Regulations of the School were formally adopted and framed in a document entitled:
"ARMENIAN PHILANTROPHIC ACADEMY FOUNDED BY THE ARMENIAN COMMUNITY OF INDIA ON THE 2ND APRIL 1821". This document is the earliest set of rules, which embodies the intentions of the Founders of the Institution. A copy of the Regulations of 1821 was annexed to the High Court petition and was marked with the letter "A". The School began functioning from the premises of an earlier school at no 358, Old China Bazar Street, the property of an Armenian, close to the Armenian Church, then called "Nazar's Holy Armenian Church". Four years later, Galutsian’s school joined ACPA and he himself became the Principal, serving till the end of his life (10 November 1833). Manatsakan Vardanian donated Rs. 10,000 to Nazar's Holy Armenian Church.
