Abstract: This file contains a mix of educational data, administrative orders, and property records from various regions of British India. It includes tables comparing the number of Muslim-managed institutions and students in Sind, a memorandum advocating for the affiliation of all Muslim schools to Aligarh Muslim University and criticizing Hindu influences in schools, a 1934 Government Order from Madras fixing pay scales for secondary school teachers, and a detailed property survey of La Martiniere College in Calcutta. The documents reflect administrative concerns about educational access, communal balance, teacher remuneration, and institutional assets.

Description: This collection presents diverse educational and administrative records from 1930s–40s India. The file begins with fragmentary notes on financial calculations, followed by statistical tables from Sind showing a disparity in Muslim-managed colleges and high schools compared to overall numbers. A memorandum argues for stronger centralization of Muslim education under Aligarh Muslim University and expresses anxiety about Muslim students in Hindu schools. An official Government Order from Madras (1934) details standardized pay scales for teachers and staff in secondary schools. The final page is a precise property inventory of La Martiniere College in Calcutta, listing areas and frontages of its various plots. Together, these documents offer insights into the governance, communal dimensions, and physical infrastructure of education in late colonial India. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
