It was in mid forties of the last century that its founder, Khan Bahadur Fazal-ur-Rahman Khan, was toying with the idea of establishing an educational institution of exceptional merit and excellence. The times were uneasy because of the partition politics and his plan, to most people, seemed neither relevant nor feasible. The frayed tempers and exasperated nerves are always inimical to sanity and wisdom. However, all this did not deter him and in July 1947, just a month before the partition of the country, he succeeded in establishing the institution of his dreams at Shahjahanapur. He named it after Gandhi Ji and thus determined what course it was to take and what ideals it was to uphold.. He presided over it, till his death in 1971 with loving care and benevolent supervision and gave to it the stamp of his liberalism and his idealism.
