The 202-year-old Hindu School in Kolkata has got the nod from the state government to start an English-medium section at the primary level. The Commissioner of School Education Soumitra Mohan said the approval has been given to start English-medium section from the next academic year, alongside the Bengali-medium wing. The school was set up in 1817 by Scottish philanthropist David Hare and scholar Radhakanta Deb.
