Rai Fateh Chand

 .

Fateh Chand College for Women, Hisar owes its origin to Late Rai Fateh Chand, a retired irrigation engineer of Lahore, who, in his last will, created a Trust of his property, to establish a college at Lahore for the education of Hindu girls and women. The college started in 1935 at Lahore has since been striving for a happy synthesis of western learning and Hindu culture especially in regard to womanly ideals. After the partition this college was re-established in 1954 at Hisar. The credit goes to Late Pandit Thakur Dass Bhargava, Seth Jaswant Rai, Pandit Nanak Chand, Seth Mahesh Chander, Bakshi Ram Kishan Ji and Babu Mahabir Prasad Jain. Their unending efforts helped the institution to re-establish in Hisar with the same aims and objectives. The college founded in 1935 in Lahore and in 1954 in Hisar now occupies a unique place amongst the educational institutions of the region. Under the guidance of Babu Mahabir Prasad Jain, honest intentions and hard work of Dr. Rajender Prasad and founder Principal Bhai Bal Mukandji (1956-1958) this college became popular in cities and villages of Punjab and Haryana and girls started coming here for education.
