SRI PRATAP COLLEGE,SRINAGAR * is one of the most prestigious and oldest educational institutions of higher learning in the State of Jammu & Kashmir. The college came into being in 1905, when the famous Hindu High School, Srinagar was upgraded by the Central Hindu College Trust, Benaras(to which it was affiliated). It was largely due to the efforts of Dr.Anne Besant and Raja Daya Krishna Kaul, the Private Secretary of Maharaja Pratap Singh. The fisrt Principal, Mr.M.U.Moore, who was an Irish Scholar of repute, took the institution to new heights of excellence. In 1911 the college was taken over by the State Government and was renamed as Sri Pratap College after the name of the ruler of the state, Maharaja Pratap Singh. The college is now an exclusive Science College where Botany,Chemistry, Biochemistry, Zoology, Environment, Water Management, Physics, Mathematics, Information Technology, Geology and Geography are taught. The Department of Posts is pleased to issue a postage stamp to commemorate 100 years of Sri Pratap College, Srinagar.
