The founder of the College Seth Makhan Lal (1909-1965) was a great philanthropist and a visionary. He was a kind-hearted intellectual and a Karamyogi who believed in Bhagwat Gita’s Philosophy of “Nishkam Karma”. He was a living symbol of humility and simplicity. He belonged to a renowned aggarwal family of Pundri and later on shifted to Kaithal (Kapisthal of ancient times) where he lived till the end of his life. He was an enlightened soul and knew very well that service of the fellow beings is the greatest service. When the idea of setting up a college in Kaithal was mooted before him by some eminent persons of the city, he immediately made up his mind to contribute large heartedly for this noble act. He volunteered ahead of all others and gave the idea a practical shape by establishing a charitable educational society called Rastriya Vidya Samiti in 1954. He donated his movable and immovable property for starting the college. With the support of other traders and intellectual of the town , he was able to start the first college of the city i.e. Radha Krishan Sanatan Dharm College in the year 1954. The college was christened after the name of his revered father-in-law Sh. Radha Krishan Ji. |
