Raja Balwant Singh College, Agra (formerly Balwant Rajput College), has a rich history dating back to 1885 when it was founded by Raja Balwant Singh Ji of Awagarh state. It started as Balwant Rajput High School, with Col. Dobson and Sir E.H. Forsyth serving as dedicated Headmasters for many years. To protect the institution’s interests, the Balwant Educational Society was established.
