History
[edit]In the 18th century, in order to spread English education and missionaries' works, the Church Missionary Society established some societies which were mostly controlled by the church. Such missionary work was started in Nadia in 1832 by the C.M.S. committee and C.M.S St. John's High School was established in 1834[2] by German Christian missionaries. Rev. W.Deerr and Rev. Blumhardt founded the school at Krishnagar town,[3] before the Krishnagar municipality and Krishnagar Government College.[citation needed]
