Calcutta Madrasa, The (later Calcutta Aliya Madrasa) was the earliest of the state-managed educational institutions under the British rule in India. Founded by the Governor General warren hastings, in October 1780 with its entire expense borne by him for a year and a half, of course fully reimbursed later, the Bengal Government took it over in April 1782. Originally situated at Baithakkhana near Sealdah in Calcutta, it was shifted to its present site at Wellesley Square in 1827. Its first head preceptor was Mulla Majduddin, an erudite in Islamic learning. Muhammad Ismail replaced him in 1791. Producing persons adequately trained in Persian, Arabic and Muslim Law (Fiqh) for appointment in lower posts in government offices and courts of justices, particularly as interpreter of Muslim law, and conciliating the sullen Muslim aristocracy of Bengal by utilising the prospective employment opportunities for them, seem to have been the main aim behind establishing the Madrasa.
