Explanation :

Fort William College was established on 18 August 1800 by Lord Richard Wellesley to train the British officials with the local language, cultures, law and traditions so that their administrative work would become easier as it involved interaction with the Indian natives.
The Court of Directors of the British East India Company were not in support of a training college in Kolkata. Then a separate College was established in 1807 in England.
