Jesuits Expand Education in Bengal with New Institutions
How Jesuits shaped Bengal’s education - Telegraph India · telegraphindia.com

The Jesuits are a religious group that has been teaching people for a long time.

In Bengal, they started a college in 1860 and made it a special, independent school in 2006.

In 2017 they opened a new university that teaches many subjects like law and engineering.

They also work with big companies and hospitals to give students real‑world learning.

They built a campus in a small village called Raghabpur so that children who live far from cities can study well.

All of this helps people who might not have had good schools before.
