Raja Peary Mohan College – Hooghly was founded on 20th June, 1887 by Raja Joy krishna Mukherjee, a benevolent zamindar of Uttarpara in a place which is very near to the famous Grand Trunk Road and the Hooghly river. Situated just on the opposite bank of the river is the famous temple of Goddess Kali at Dakshineswar where Ramakrishna Paramhansa attained his spiritual bliss and Swami Vivekananda met his Guru. At the time of foundation, the Raja Peary Mohan College – Hooghly was known as Uttarpara College.
Joykrishna Mukherjee, the founder of this age-old institution was a legendary figure as promoter of education and social reformer in the nineteenth century Bengal. As a supporter of Vidyasagar social reforms, he is still remembered as the first signatory to the historic petition sent to Lord Dalhousie, praying for the legalization of Hindu widow marriage in 1856. He made an extensive attempt for the spread of education particularly in the rural areas. By 1858 he was able to establish as many as 31 schools in the districts of Howrah, Hooghly and Bardhaman. Joykrishna Mukherjee applied for establishing a Girl's School at Uttarpara in 1849 which was turned down by the East India Company's Government. Failing to establish a Girl's School, he donated Rs. 10,000/- to Bethune School, Calcutta, for the cause of female education.
