Asia's first Educational conference was held in the ground of the Central Hindu Boys School. Central Hindu Boys School was established in 1898 by Dr. Annie Besant. Ruler of the Indian Princely State of Benares State (Royal House of Benares) Prabhu Narayan Singh was instrumental in setting up the school and donated requisite land for the school. It started as high school (from grade VI to X). Annie Besant originally intended to convert this school into a degree college and sought approval from Prayag Vishwavidyalaya (Allahabad University). The school also housed classes for Faculty of Arts, Banaras Hindu University and ran classes as loner for the Banaras Hindu University. In 1914, on request of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, Besant handed over the college (then known as Central Hindu College) to Banaras Hindu University for establishing the university. Association with BHU
The school housed the first faculty (Faculty of Arts) of Banaras Hindu University till 1916. Banaras Hindu University was started on the campus of this school (with class rooms on loan) and functioned there till it relocated to its current location in 1916. In 1914 Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya requested Dr. Besant to hand over the school (then called Central Hindu College) to Banaras Hindu University. On 27 November 1915, the school was handed over to the university. The school became a constituent college of the Banaras Hindu University in October 1917 after the Government issued a notification. The Sayaji Rao Gaekwad Library, BHU was first housed in the Telang Library of the College in 1917.
