Sant Teja Singh Ji was appointed as First Principal of the First College of Education, Banaras Hindu University

It is worth mentioning that in the year 1914, Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya had travelled to Mastuana barefoot from Sangrur Railway Station to invite Sant Attar Singh for laying the foundation stone of Banaras Hindu University. Sant Attar Singh accepting his request had accompanied him to Varanasi. Rather a train, full of affluent people including Sikh rulers of Jind, Patiala and Nabha alongwith prominent religious heads of all faiths and political figures of that era arrived at Varanasi for this ceremony.

Accompanied by the religious chantings, the foundation stone of Sanskrit College was laid by Sant Attar Singh by placing eleven bricks of gold. Prior to this Five Akhand Paths were conducted at same place and after holding prayer (Ardas), the revered Sant also sung divine hymns (Kirtan).

Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya in the month of July 1919 requested Sant Attar Singh to send Teja Singh as Principal at the start of the first Teachers Training College of the University. Sant Attar Singh asked Teja Singh to take charge of the college as Principal and the same was humbly followed by Teja Singh.

A year later, rulers of Patiala, Nabha and Jind requested Sant Attar Singh Mastuane Wale to recall Teja Singh back from Banaras Hindu University; to direct him to establish centers of higher education at Gur Sagar Mastuana.

After serving for a year at Teachers Training College of Education at Banaras Hindu University, on directions from Sant Attar Singh, Teja Singh returned back and took charge of Akal Degree College Gurusagar Sahib Mastuana. He remained the Principal of the college from 1923- 1926.
