Mukand Lal National College

Mukand Lal National College, Yamuna Nagar is a part of a chain of institutions being run under the banner of Seth Jai Prakash Mukand Lal Institutions of Knowledge and Service. The chain has a total of 29 institutions spread over Haryana,U.P, and Punjab and owe their existence to the munificence and philanthropic spirit of Seth Mukand Lal, a close adherent of Gandhi Ji. He came under the Gandhian influence in early 20's. Gandhi Ji had fondly nick named him as his 'Pagla Bhagat'. Seth Mukand Lal, reportedly bore the entire expenditure incurred in the holding of All India Congress Session on the banks of river Ravi, Lahore in 1929 where the resolution for complete Independence of India was adopted. Illiterate himself, he vowed to dispel the darkness of ignorance by opening educational institutions starting with setting up of Mukand Lal National High School at Abdulapur (now Yamuna Nagar).
