e. Our founder, Chaudhary Babu Mahadev Prasad, embodied noble generosity and compassion. He championed social welfare and worked tirelessly for societal progress. His warm heart bridged the gap between rich and poor, encapsulated by his belief in “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.” Born on the auspicious day of Mahashivratri in 1857, he carried the essence of Adidev Shiva’s power within him.
Hailing from the holy place Kada Dham Allahabad, Chaudhary Mahadev Prasad’s Zamindari stretched across Allahabad, Banda, Darbhanga, Muzaffarnagar, Sitamarhi, and Banaras. Rooted in deep family traditions, he was educated in Sanskrit and Urdu. His persona reflected discipline, piety, compassion, and social awareness. Steeped in ancestral heritage, he recognized that education was the path to a self-reliant nation amidst foreign rule.
In 1914, he established the Chaudhary Babu Mahadev Prasad Trust, entrusting the Kayastha Pathshala with his estate’s management. Fifty percent of its earnings were dedicated to educating underprivileged students.
His vision and accomplishments are beyond words, leaving an indelible mark on society. He strongly believed in the popular saying “Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.”
In that same year, he contributed generously, sowing the seeds of Chaudhary Mahadeo Prasad College with one lakh rupees. The college, established in 1950 as a part of the University of Allahabad, flourished with his dynamic inspiration. His daughter, Smt. Bhagwati Devi, also contributed Rs. 35000/- to the cause. His legacy continued with his contribution to Kashi Hindu University and his commitment to the collective good.
Chaudhary Babu Mahadev Prasad’s life remains a guiding light, inspiring generations. His unwavering belief in progress transformed history. Today, Chaudhary Mahadev Prasad College stands as a towering banyan tree, nurturing dreams of thousands of students, each a testament to his enduring inspiration.
