VS Mehta College Of Science

Bhavan’s Institutes at Allahabad and Kaushambi are the great gift of Late Shri Giridhari Lal ji Mehta who was not only a businessman and industrialist but a man of multi facet personality. His devotion for the uplift of Science, Technology, Art and Culture as well as very much interest in Medical Science inspired him to start a Hospital, a Post Graduate College of Science & Arts, a residential Public School at Bharwari. He also contributed large donations to Mehta Eye Hospital & an Auditorium in Prayag Sangeet Samiti at Allahabad. He started his business from Bharwari town and opened an office at Allahabad and then became one of the riches of the country having many Jute mills in Calcutta. He was very much interested to open group of multi-faculties educational institutions beginning from L.K.G. to P.G. College leading to University at Bharwari. On the inspiration of Dr. K.M.Munshi a Science College was established at Bharwari for the uplift of Science in the Backward Rural Area. Bharwari was the most backward rural area in education since first parliament election. To develop this backward rural area in to a developed educational and industrial area was the main purpose of Shri Giridhari Lal ji Mehta. With this purpose he was very keen to establish a well known education center in the backward rural area of Bharwari. Earlier the area of Bharwari was in the Allahabad district but now it is under the district Kaushambi with the district head quarter at Manjhanpur which is 12 km away from this education centre. Shri Giridhari Lal Ji Mehta established the Hospital named Mehta Hospital (within 20 acres land) in 1965 which was inaugurated by Shri C.B.Gupta, then Health Minister of U.P.
