History

Established in 1902, in the University-town of Allahabad, when the University had no campus and was only granting affiliation, the College soon rose to post-graduate status, with a strong emphasis on research and extension work, relevant for rural India.

Description

Ewing Christian College is the story of continuous striving for excellence, in the face of insurmountable odds, throughout its existence of hundred years. Spread on a sprawling green campus of 42 acres, on the bank of river Yamuna, the College opened its Agriculture Economics Extension Department, on the other side of the river, which soon developed into Allahabad Agriculture Institute (now a Deemed University).By the introduction of the Allahabad University Reorganization Act, 1921, the degree and postgraduate classes were shifted to the University, reducing the College to the Intermediate level. The College then braced itself up and acquired land near the University, where Ewing Christian University College (presently, William Holland Hall University College) started functioning from the year 1923.Ewing Christian College is possibly the first College in the country, which started preparing for Autonomy, around 1975, and started moving ahead in preparedness.
