The Founder

Munshi Kali Prasad Kulbhashkar was born on December 3, 1840, at "Chiri Mar Teela," now known as Laptanganj in Jaunpur. His father, Munshi Deen Dayal Singh, was a resident of Shahzadpur in the Sirathu Tehsil of Allahabad District. A highly cultured and religious individual, Deen Dayal Singh served as a "Wasi Baki Nawis" at Jaunpur Tehsil and was also posted at Mariyahu and Machlishahar.
In 1873, he founded the Kayastha Pathshala in Bahadurganj, starting with just seven students. Munshi Shiv Narain Lal was its first teacher. To ensure the institution's growth and sustainability, he bequeathed all his movable and immovable property to the Kayastha Pathshala Trust through a will dated October 18, 1886.
Expansion of the Kayastha Pathshala
In 1888, Calcutta University recognized the Kayastha Pathshala, which now manages institutions like C.M.P. Degree College, Kulbhaskar Ashram Post Graduate College, K.P. Inter College, and others.
