Summary: , funds were further increased by Rs. 1,50,000 by Lord Auckland. Efforts were made to extend the influence of primary education under the leadership of Sir George Campbell, who undertook the organisation and development of elementary schools in Bengal. However, Mr. Adam's plan for diffusing elementary instruction among the masses faced opposition and was not given a trial even in schools near Calcutta, leading to his resignation. The General Committee preferred focusing on improving education among the higher and middle classes, with the expectation that educational reform would eventually reach rural vernacular schools through them. Despite the recommendations, the prominence of English over vernacular languages in Anglo-Vernacular schools continued, underscoring the challenges in balancing language education. The funds at the disposal for educational purposes in 1840 were nearly 4 lakhs of rupees, derived from various sources including parliamentary grants and schooling fees.
