Kalikrishna Mitra (1822 – 2 August 1891) was an Indian philanthropist, educator and writer. He established the first non-government girls’ school in India.[1]
Mitra was born to Shibnarayan Mitra in Kolkata, British India. He passed from Hare School and entered into the Presidency College but due to poor economic condition he had to leave his studies and start living in his maternal house at Barasat, presently North 24 Parganas district.
His elder brother was a notable doctor, Nabinkrishna Mitra.[2][1]
