The historic Mehboob College is also located in Patny Circle.[1] Initially founded in 1862 by Mr. Somasundaram Mudaliar as a public school for primary education, a first in those days. This was also where Swami Vivekananda addressed a large gathering in 1893 before he left for Chicago.[2] This college building is declared as a heritage building by HUDA.[3]
