“यह प्रतिमा स्व. श्री मुलतान सिंह वर्मा की है। आपने 13 जून 1943 को गूजर विद्या प्रचारिणी सभा, मुजफ्फर नगर-सहारनपुर सर्किल की स्थापना की। 1 नवम्बर 1943 को रामपुर मनिहारान में एक छोटा सा स्कूल खोला, जिसको इन्टर कालेज के प्रधानाचार्य के रूप में रिटायर होने से पूर्व आपने डिग्री स्तर तक पहुँचा दिया। जब तक यह संस्था रहेगी, आपका नाम अमर रहेगा।”

"This statue is of the late Shri Multan Singh Varma. On 13 June 1943 you founded the Gujar Vidya Pracharini Sabha, Muzaffarnagar–Saharanpur Circle. On 1 November 1943 you opened a small school at Rampur Maniharan, which, before retiring as principal of the inter college, you had raised to degree level. As long as this institution stands, your name will endure."

“इस प्रतिमा का अनावरण ‘पदम श्री’ वीतराग संन्यासी स्वामी कल्याण देव जी महाराज के कर-कमलों द्वारा माननीय चौ. नारायण सिंह (भू.पू. उप-मुख्यमंत्री, उ.प्र.) की अध्यक्षता में दिनांक 2 अप्रैल, 1984 को सम्पन्न हुआ।”

"The unveiling of this statue was performed by the hands of 'Padma Shri' Vitarag Sanyasi Swami Kalyan Dev ji Maharaj, under the chairmanship of the Hon'ble Chaudhary Narayan Singh (former Deputy Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh), on 2 April 1984."

Year of birth — 1900 or 1897

The inscription carves 12 August 1900; the booklet gives Jyeshtha badi doj, Samvat 1954, that is 1897. A difference of three years.

Inscription decides — 12 August 1900 recorded; the booklet's year kept alongside

The sequence of school years

Against a birth in 1900, the booklet's years for class four (1910), the middle examination (1915) and high school (1917) do not sit correctly.

Left standing as an open inconsistency; the years were not shifted — board and school records would settle it

Subtotals in the donation table · booklet page 18

50 bighas 5 biswas plus 68 bighas should total 118 bighas 5 biswas; the booklet prints 118 bighas 3 biswas. Likewise 118-3 plus 41-10 gives 159 bighas 13 biswas, against a printed total of 159 bighas 15 biswas.

Figures reproduced exactly as printed; the Deoband registry and khatauni would resolve whether the fault is the printer's or the deed's

Spelling of the name

The inscription and the booklet spell "Multan" differently in Devanagari.

Both forms recorded; this archive follows the booklet's spelling

Overlapping teaching appointments

The booklet gives 1926–1935 at the DAV, Muzaffarnagar, and also his resignation in 1934 to join the Jat school.

Both statements reproduced as given; verification against service records outstanding

Nalheda, in two contexts

Nalheda appears both among the early subscription pledges of 1944 and in the page 27 list of institutions established with the Sabha's assistance.

The nature of the connection is not recorded; the two have not been assumed to be one effort

Sequence of the institution's renamings

From Gujar Anglo Vedic School (1943) to Gochar Krishi Inter College (the name in 1982) and Gochar Mahavidyalaya — when the names changed is not recorded.

Each context uses the name its source gives; the sequence is left blank

The founding of 13 June 1943 and the date of registration under Act No. 21 of 1860

The land registry of 21 September 1943, the donors' names, and a check on the printed totals

Resolutions 5 and 9, the dates of meetings, and how much of the pledged subscription was actually collected

The recognition of 1944, the class permissions of 1946–47 and 1949, and the degree permission of July 1959

The 1917 high school pass, the hundred per cent result of 1948, and the 1951 intermediate and 1953 science batches

The sequence of the 1926–1935 and 1934–1944 appointments, which conflict within the booklet

The circumstances of his death and the response at the time; the date is already recorded from the inscription

The undated episodes in the booklet, and what no paper records at all
