Monghyr Diamond Jubilee College. AFFILIATED, 1898.

Under the management of the Joint Committee the Institution rose to a first-class school in 1897. To commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Most Gracious Majesty's benign and peaceful reign, it was resolved at a public meeting that the most appropriate way to celebrating the happy event would be to found a College by the amalgamation of the three local schools, viz., Zila School, Kamaleshwari Prosad Institution (a High English School maintained entirely at the cost of Rai Kamaleshwari Prosad Singh Bahadur, Proprietor), and the V.
