James Galt (missionary)

James Galt was a Scottish missionary and ordained minister who served with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in India during the 19th century. He was primarily active in the Rajputana region (present-day Rajasthan), dedicating much of his life to establishing and developing mission stations.

Galt's work focused on evangelism, education, and medical outreach. He established schools for both boys and girls, aiming to provide education to local communities, particularly to those from marginalized backgrounds. He also played a significant role in translating religious texts into local languages to facilitate wider understanding and engagement with Christianity.

His ministry involved not only preaching but also addressing social issues and advocating for the rights of the local population. Galt's efforts contributed to the growth of the United Presbyterian Church's mission presence in Rajputana and left a lasting impact on the region.
