The correct answer is option 3, Raja Ram Mohan Roy. Raja Ram Mohan Roy was a prominent social reformer and is considered to be the pioneer of the western system of education in India. He played a crucial role in advocating for modern education and establishing the concept of a western-style education system in India. Roy emphasized the need to incorporate scientific and rational thinking in education and believed that education should be accessible to all, regardless of their gender or caste. He founded the Hindu College in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1817, which later evolved into the prestigious Presidency College. Raja Ram Mohan Roy`s efforts paved the way for modern education in India, which had a profound impact on the social, cultural, and intellectual development of the country.
