Discuss the role of maharaja ranbir singh in the field of education

Sri Ranbir Model Higher Secondary School, simply called as Ranbir School, is a testament to the vision of Dogra rulers, Maharaja Ranbir Singh and Maharaja Pratap Singh. The poineer institution of J&K State, was founded by Dogra Ruler Maharaja Ranbir Singh and was constructed by Raja Partap Singh before 1880. Here are interesting things about ‘Heritage Model School’ of Jammu : At that time, it had the privilege to be the first school of its kind in the state. At the very outset, it was named as Jammu Collegiate School. Later, it was named after its founder the Maharaja Ranbir School. That is why it is called SRML Higher Secondary School (Sri Ranbir Multilateral Higher Secondary School). Maharaja Ranbir Singh founded the institute in 1872, initially called the Ranbir Pathshala. Maharaja Pratap Singh completed construction in 1884. In 1905, it was named as Jammu Collegiate School and in 1965, it was renamed as Govt SRML Higher Secondary School, where vocational skills were taught.

Partap Singh occupied Kashmir throne for 40 years. But historian Ashiq Hussain Bhat says the actual ruler was the British Resident who had limited despot’s authority taking advantage of palace squabbling and intrigues The Viceroy’s tour in Kashmir: The procession of boats nearing the Sumbal Bridge on the way to Srinagar. Dogra Maharaja Partap Singh ascended the Kashmir throne in September 1885 and died in September 1925. Thus he sat upon Kashmir throne for 40 long years. But the fact is the British scarcely allowed him to exercise authority on “his” State although they had sold and transferred Kashmir State on March 16, 1846, into the possession of Dogra dynasty. Even when Partap Singh was mourning the death of his father, Maharaja Ranbir Singh, the then British Government of India decided to install a Resident in Srinagar. British had, right from the day of Sale of Kashmir to Gulab Singh, Partap’s grand-father, kept a close watch on the State especially its northern frontiers. In 1852 they installed an Officer on Special Duty in Kashmir followed by the appointment of Political Agents in Ladakh and Gilgit in 1867 and 1877. Lord Reading During Pratap Singh’s reign, British ruled Kashmir State directly. They justified their intervention in Kashmir on the ground that Pratap Singh’s court was a hotbed of intrigues among his brothers Amar Singh and Ram Singh; and his ministers Lachman Das, and Gobind Sahai; and that his administration was, therefore, inefficient. They also accu...

Col J P Singh A national seminar is being held in Jammu University by the Dept of History and J&K Study Centre of JU in collaboration with NIIT India in Brig Rajinder Singh auditorium from 26&27 April 2022 on Maharaja Ranbir Singh and making of Jammu & Kashmir. It is rather difficult to describe the wisdom, foresight and valour of Dogra Rulers by which they formed a vast empire out of diverse geographical, religious, cultural and linguistic regions and ruled for more than a century. While the history of formation of J&K State by Maharaja Gulab Singh has been well documented by historians and talked about in public, the subsequent period involving consolidation of this huge empire, stretching from Pamir Plateau in the North to plains of Punjab in the South, by his successor is perceived to have received much lesser attention. His son, Ranbir Singh did it. Maharaja Ranbir Singh was enthroned by Maharaja Gulab Singh himself in 1856. He out performed his visionary father in every aspect. Hence an effort is made to bring to public knowledge some of his several remarkable contributions in consolidating the vast empire, which he inherited, so much like ‘Ashoka the Great’ which we are / weren’t being told. Maharaja Ranbir Singh was born in the month of Sawan 1887, corresponding to August 1830 at Ramgarh, the original Jagir of Gulab Singh where the family generally lived after he became Raja of Jammu. He was called Mian Feena when young. During 1830s Ranbir Singh’s family had becom...
