The history of the Ingraham Institute has its roots deep in Indian history and in the heart of Ghaziabad, where a remarkable tale of perseverance and excellence unfolded. 1926 marked the genesis of a legacy, when the Methodist Church envisioned a beacon of hope for the agrarian community, a place where young minds could flourish, and the marginalized could find solace.
The Institute’s legacy began with a vision to uplift the agrarian community. The campus grew staple crops—wheat, rice, pulses, maize, sugarcane, and potatoes—besides seasonal vegetables. The dairy and poultry farm made the campus a self-sufficient unit, and peasants and farmers from nearby fields would come to learn about fertilizers and farming techniques.
