Scottish Church College Kolkata, established in 1830 as the General Assemblies Institution and given its present name in 1929 is an institution born out of the impetus to spread European education in alliance with the doctrine of Christianity. The college founder, Rev. Alexander Duff, was the first missionary to India from the Church of Scotland. His idea was to set up an institution, which linked western education with Christian mission and the eventual progress of the people - years later the College is committed to the vision of its founding father and aims at academic excellence along with social awareness and character building.
