Maharaja Ranbir Singh had a semi-formal education and was passionate about passing on knowledge to the poor.

Ranbir Singh met and conversed with intellectuals from diverse fields regularly. Ranbir Singh followed in the footsteps of earlier rulers of Kashmir, Zain-ul-Abidin, and Avantivarman. To translate and transliterate religious literature, he used pandits and maulvis. He pledged $100,000 to the University of Punjab founded in 1882. In gratitude, he was named the university's first fellow.
