RAJKUMAR COLLEGE, RAIPUR.
I visited the Rajkumar College, Raipur, on December the 18th—2ist,
1983, Major W. F. Webb, J.A., Political Agent, Chhattisgarh States,
Raipur, was associated with me in the inspection.
My_main objects at this my first visit were to make the acquaintance
of the Principal and members’ of the staff and to see something of the
hoys at work and at play. T was also glad to have the opportunity of
attending the meetings of the General Council of the College on December
the 20th and Qist, at which several matters of considerable importance
were under discussion, I need only refer briefly to two of these. I feel
sure the decisiun to relax the existing restriction on the admission of non-
kumars will be ehewn by experience to be in the interest of the College
even if its full effect is not felt for some time to come. I should also like
to see scparate arrangements made for dealing with the younger hoys but
I recognise that the provision of a Junior Tlouse is an expensive matter
and that the Council are wise to postpone a decision until numbers increase
anid the financial position of the College is more assured.
Apart from the fact that owing to preparations for the prize-giving and
other annual functions the normal routine of the College was in abeyance
during most of my visit, it was not my intention to make a detailed inspec-
tion of the teaching on this occasion as arrangements will be made for
this to tuke place during 1939-40. J therefore confine myself mainly to
general questions of administration and finance.
2. Munagement.—There has been no change in the management given
in the last year’s report.
3. Finonee.—The budect estimate for the vear 1933-39 shows receipts
as Rs. 141,280 and expenditure as Rs, 1,360,795, thus anticipating a
surplus of Rs. 4,485. The main items of receipts are :--
Rs.
Interest on investments. . . ' . . . » 45,900
Interest on Joans to Ktatea and Fetates . . . . 41,980
Govornment of India grant oe elle e800
Tuition fecs and sunl-criptions 2. 0, wee AOD
The Government of India grant which for the period 1931—1937 averaged
over Rs, 9,000 a year has heen progressively reduced during the last two
years and will cease from Ist April 1939. At the same time the College
will he exempted from paying to Government. leave and pension contri-
butions on account of the Principal who belongs to the Indian Educational
Service. It is difficult to give precise figures as factors, which vary from
lime to time, have to be taken into account bat it may be said roughly that on
the income side as a reeult of the discontinuance of the Government grant
the College will be between Rs. 4.000 and Rs. 5.000 a year worse off then
it was in 1936. 9 A disturbing feature on the receipts side, to which
attention was called in the last report, is the further estimated decrease
in the amonnt of interest on loans to Estates. The amount invested in
Joans is Rs. 8,06,855 as compared with Rs, §,54,636 in securities, The
following sums have been received as interest on loans in the last three
years —
