William Carey was established the Serampore mission. He strongly criticized Woods dispatch's practical education in early 19th century. He felt that education should attempt to improve the moral character of the people and morality could be improved only through Christian Education.

Thanks all of you all who shared his valuable experience about William Carey's journey towards the establishment of protestant Christian ideology in Bengal.But can anyone tell me whether this cemetery is still used by chirstian people who are the members of Srirampore mission church.As per my knowledge there are three churches in Srirampore, St olive church which is located at fredrick nagar, Srirampore mission church which is located at the bank of ganges river and another church is jhonnagar Baptist church which is rather tala more.
