Answer:
John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune (1801 - 1851) was an educator, mathematician and polyglot who is known for his contributions in promoting women's education in India.[1] He was the founder of Calcutta Female School (now known as Bethune College) in Calcutta,[2] which is considered the oldest women's college in Asia.[3] He started his professional life as a lawyer in England and came to India by virtue of his appointment as a law member of the Governor General's Council of Ministers.[4] His efforts in further women's education were actively supported by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and other members of the Bengali Renaissance.[5]
