Inspired by the noble cause of education and philanthropic zeal, a group of twenty-two like minded industrialists in Kolkata established in 1990 the Kalyan Bharti Trust (KBT), a public charitable foundation, to promote and provide higher education in the country and in the State of West Bengal, in particular. To achieve KBT’s objective, The Heritage School (THS) and the Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT-K) were set up in 2001, while The Heritage Academy (THA) came up in 2007. Management Education Centre of HIT-K, which is accredited by NBA, has been accorded an independent status by AICTE as Heritage Business School (HBS) in 2013. The Trust has now decided to set up Heritage Law College that would start functioning from FY 2015-16. Future plans of KBT include setting up a a General Degree College, Medical College, a Design Institute and finally a University in the near future.
