Which one of the following statements about Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar is NOT correct ?

Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was a towering figure of the Bengal Renaissance. He served as the Principal of Sanskrit College, Calcutta, starting in 1851 [4]. In his capacity as a Government Inspector of Schools, he was instrumental in organizing thirty-five girls' schools [2]. Furthermore, he served as the Secretary to the Bethune School, which was established in 1849 to promote women's higher education [4]. While Vidyasagar was the primary architect behind the movement for widow remarriage and the passing of the Hindu Widows' Remarriage Act of 1856, he was not the founder of the 'Widow Remarriage Association' [4]. Historical records indicate that the Widow Remarriage Association was founded in the 1850s by Vishnu Shastri Pandit in Western India [4]. Therefore, statement 4 is the incorrect one regarding his specific organizational affiliations.
