Abstract

Education and Christianity have a complex and intertwined history in India. The introduction of Christianity in India dates back to ancient times, possibly as early as the 1st century CE, through interactions with traders and travellers. However, a more organized presence of Christianity can be traced to the arrival of European colonial powers, primarily the Portuguese, followed by the Dutch, British, and French. The development of education through Christian missionaries in Tamil Nadu, a southern state of India, has had a significant impact on the region's educational landscape. Christian missionaries, particularly from Europe and North America, played a crucial role in establishing schools, colleges, and other educational institutions that have contributed to the social and academic development of the state. The development of higher education through Christian missionaries in the North Arcot district of Tamil Nadu, India, has a significant historical background that traces back to the colonial period. Hence, this study is made an attempt to study the Educational Development of CSI Vellore Diocese in the Pre-Independence and Post-Independence Periods.
