The '''Dawn Society''' was established in July 1902 in [[Calcutta]], [[British India]] under the stewardship of Indian educationalist [[Satish Chandra Mukherjee]]. The organisation arose in response to agitation against the report of the [[Indian Universities Commission 1902]] which was seen to be align more power within the Colonial settlers. At a time of rising nationalism in India, the ''Dawn Society'', through its magazine [[Dawn (Indian educationalist magazine)|of the same name]], sought to promote Indian views, achievements, heritage and success. The members of the society included noted intellectuals and intelligentsia of Bengal of the time, including [[Rabindranath Tagore]], [[Aurobindo Ghosh]], [[Rajendra Prasad]], Raja [[Subodh Chandra Mullick]], [[Radha Kumud Mukherjee]] and [[Brajendra Kishore Roychowdhury]] and others. The work of the society saw the founding of the [[National Council for Education]] in 1905.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Dawn_Society,_The|title=Dawn Society, The - Banglapedia|website=en.banglapedia.org|language=en|access-date=2017-12-01}}</ref>
