DESCRIPTION :

The history of this college goes back to a person's dream¸ he was Mr Ram Gopal Vidyant¸ conferred upon the title of Vidya-Anant-Bageshwari¸ later culminated into "Vidyant". He had to swam across the village river to reach his school. So he took promise from his two sons that they would built a school for children. They were so busy in their professional life as Visionary and Planner of todays Lucknow¸ shaping its architecture in the form of Charbagh Railway Station¸ Pucca Pul¸ Allahabad Bank and Central Bank buildings at Hazratganj etc.¸ during the first half of the 20th century that they forgot the promise of building a school for little torch bearers. One of them was Mr Hari Prasad Vidyant¸ topped in Graduation in Canning College in 1892. His only son Mr Victor Narain Vidyant (1895-1984)¸ MSc¸ LLB¸ Honorary Magistrate¸ fulfilled this promise by establishing Vidyant Hindu School in 1938 on the premises he purchased from the successors of Raja Dakshina Ranjan Mukherjee¸ the only Bengali king outside Bengal and Finance Minister of King Amjad Ali Shah¸ father of King Wajid Ali Shah. 

Thereafter the School grew into a High School in 1944 and into Intermediate College in 1946. In the year 1954¸ it started the Bachelor of Arts courses in the form of a Degree College associated to the University of Lucknow. In the year 1974¸ the Bachelor of Commerce course was commenced. In the very first batch of this course Sri H. Ramesh topped in the University. In 2006¸ the College was upgraded to Post Graduate level with the opening of the Master of Arts (History) and the Master of Commerce courses. ""
