  • Atmiya Sabha: Founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in 1815, this was an early intellectual forum that aimed to promote monotheism and oppose caste system and idol worship. It predates Pandita Ramabai's major work and was not founded by her.
  • Banaras Hindu University: While Pandita Ramabai was a key figure in women's education, Banaras Hindu University was primarily established by Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya in 1916.
