Amongst the following, who cooperated with Raja Ram Mohan Roy in the implementation of his educational programmes ?

Raja Ram Mohan Roy, often hailed as the father of the Indian Renaissance, was a staunch advocate for modern education. He believed that Western scientific knowledge and English education were essential for the progress of Indian society [c1][t9]. In the implementation of his educational programmes, he was significantly supported by David Hare, a Dutch watchmaker and philanthropist [c2][c4]. Together, they were instrumental in the foundation of the Hindu College in Calcutta in 1817, an institution dedicated to providing secular and modern education [c1][t6]. While Dwarkanath Tagore was a close associate in the Atmiya Sabha and Brahmo Samaj, David Hare was the primary collaborator specifically in the field of educational institutional building [c2][t3]. Other figures like Henri Derozio were associated with the Hindu College later as teachers, and William Jones was known for his orientalist research rather than Roy's modern educational reforms [c2][t6].
