History edit
It was established on 13 January 1913 by Sir James Meston as Meston High School. Prabhu Narayan Singh was instrumental in setting up the school and donated requisite land for the school. A science laboratory was built in 1978 for proper education of the students. This college is also known as PN College. The hostel was arranged for the students coming from far away but later it was closed after it was not needed. In 1953, the first edition of Nav Jyoti magazine was published in the college. This college is famous for its heritage buildings. The red color of this school makes it stand out. There is a well in the middle of a field and an old ficus tree. There is a stage for cultural programs known as "Krishna Rang Manch". That stage was made by the then present principal in 1988. It became a government college after the independent India and has named Prabhu Narayan on the name of King of Ramnagar.
There is another stage which was built in 2000. For the first time, in 2000, then-Chief Minister Ram Prakash Gupta addressed the rally of the "Kisan Morcha". At that time the present central minister Rajnath Singh and former chief secretary of the state Om Prakash Singh were also present. After 17 years on 22 November 2017, chief minister of the province Yogi Adityanath addressed the people of Ramnagar from this stage.[2]
