When our nation, after getting freedom, was stepping towards education and technique, the Tarai skirt of the biggest province, Uttar Pradesh, was lagging behind due to lack of any higher educational institution. A vast area between Gorakhpur and Lucknow was lying like a desert in the field of education.

At such a time the saintly Maharaja of Balrampur Sri Pateshwari Prasad Singh so kindly created an oasis for higher academic achievement by establishing, M.L.K. College in 1955 in the pious memory of his reverend mother which covered the area of Gonda, Bahraich and Basti.
