Kangal Harinath, a pioneer of women's education

During the Bengal Renaissance, in the mid-nineteenth century, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar established a girls' school in Calcutta and promoted women's education.

Around the same time, a man became a pioneer of women's education in a remote area of Kumarkhali subdivision.

He also used to publish news of helpless, tortured and oppressed people in his newspaper. The man was Kangal Harinath.
