History
Foundation
The group was established in 1946 by Banwari Lal Agarwal, a lawyer practising in Bareilly, as a memorial to his father, Rai Sahib Lala Gulab Rai Agarwal.[3][4] The foundation stone of Shri Gulab Rai Inter College, the group's first institution, was laid by Govind Ballabh Pant, then Premier of the United Provinces and later a recipient of the Bharat Ratna.[4][5]
Expansion
Following Banwari Lal Agarwal's death, management of the institutions passed to his son Namo Narain Agarwal.
