Welcome To K. P. Inter College

Everyone does it for themselves. But there are some rare ones who put everything at stake for the upliftment of the society. Munshi Kali Prasad Kulbhaskar was one such personality. To educate and make the youth self-reliant, he had established Kayastha Pathshala, which has become the largest trust in Asia today. It will be called the pride of the city of Prayag that a great personality like Munshi ji chose it as his place of work. It is a different matter that KP Trust also remembers him only on birth anniversary and death anniversary.
Shri Kali Prasad Kulbhaskar was born in the house of Munshi Deen Dayal Sinha ji on 3 December 1840 in Alphstein Ganj Mohalla of Jaunpur (Uttar Pradesh).
Kaliprasad ji started advocating in the Awadh Chief Court of Lucknow and soon after he was counted among the first class advocates of the state and the country. The Talukdar Sangh appointed him as their legal advisor. In the form of rewards and remuneration, he got copious movable and immovable property.
Kaliprasad ji had the easy support of his wife in his generous work. Kaliprasad ji had decided to donate his everything. The legal writings in this regard were also often read. Munshi ji was likewise certain, confident. Suddenly he saw that tears were flowing from the eyes of his silent ascetic woman sitting nearby. Munshi ji was shocked. He asked in awe, "Why are there tears in your eyes? I have given my everything, are you not getting sad because of this?" "No!" Got a short answer. "Then?" he asked looking at his most fortunate woman with a distraught look.
After remaining silent for some time, his wife said in a compassionate voice, "You have made such arrangements that for ages and ages you will get the child who gives you the water. But my lamp was extinguished. Who will give me Pinda water?"
"Why? The same child who will give me pinda water, will not give it to you? How will this happen?" The eyes of the dignified scribe Kaliprasad lit up. His wife got up from there and went inside.
After a while when she returned to the Diwankhana, there was no ornament on any part of her body except the silver ring on her toes. Taking the bundle of jewels forward, he simply said, "Take, add this bundle to your donation as well. I have nothing now except my honeymoon marks, silver rings. May my children flourish."
In the grateful society, Munshi Kaliprasad ji honored him and himself by calling him Kulbhaskar. Munshi Kaliprasad ji used all his wealth in caste service and social service. He founded the Kayastha Dharma Sabha and Dharma Sabha.
The greatest work in the life of Shri Kaliprasad ji was the establishment of Kayastha Pathshala in Allahabad. By establishing this school, Munshi ji himself did the work of teaching the children in it like a normal teacher. How much he loved and valued the school, it is evident from his teaching work. Initially there were seven students in this school and the regular teacher was Munshi Shivnarayan ji. But seeing this, this school progressed and started giving education till the entrance, for which in the year 1888, it also got recognition from the University of Calcutta.
The will of Shri Kaliprasad ji was registered in the court on 18 October 1886. In this will, he donated his movable and immovable property, closets, land property, even the items of daily use to the trust. A few days later, almost three weeks later, on November 9, 1886, he died in Delhi. At that time there was no money even for a shroud to cover his dead body. The trust had to manage it. We do not know of any other example of such sacrifice and self-giving.
