• The 16-acre land was given by the queen for free, along with 20,000 pounds and the timber required for building.
• The British East India Company's then-Governor-General, Lord William Bentinck, decided in 1835 to reallocate funds that the company was required by the British Parliament to spend on education and literature in India. This decision was made into law by the Council of India's English Education Act 1835.
• However, the act itself adopted a more positive stance toward conventional education, and additional measures based on the supply of sufficient money for both methods quickly followed.
• However, financing for vernacular language instruction remained low, despite the fact that it had never had any support prior to 1835.
