History

This institution was established in early post-independence era. In the year 1953 the school switched from its initial address at Haru Mistri lane, Howrah to its present address. The present school building was built in 1952. Shri Yogesh Chandra Mukhopadhyay (Bengali: শ্রী যোগেশচন্দ্র মুখোপাধ্যায়), the founder of the school also known as Dadu by the then students, contributed his personal land for the school building purpose. He was elected the first Secretary of the Managing Committee of the school. In 1954, the school was officially acknowledged by the Government.

In the beginning days, the institution provided education up to grade VI, which was extended up to grade X in 1955; the school introduced herself as a Secondary School. Higher Secondary section to 11th standard was included later in 1962 and in 1977 this institution received permission for conducting Higher Secondary Examination following a 10+2 curriculum. The school's first Higher Secondary Examination held in 1979.

At the south end of the ground there is a school auditorium named ‘Surendra Mancha’, which was built in 1981.

School anthem

School begins with the prayer song Jana Gana Mana, preceded by the recitation of a short Sanskrit shloka. The shloka is the No. 9 principle of 'Taittirīya' (Bengali: তৈত্তিরীয়) Upanishads. Through this mantra it is prayed that:

"The Brahma would protect both the Acharya or teacher and disciples. Let us enjoy both equally fruit of wisdom; both of us can afford to be competent for acquiring knowledge. Let our study be effective, let our received erudition be successful. We do not let hatred for one another. Our spiritual, psychic and elemental - the three Peace let be satisfied."

Original Shloka

  ॐ সহনাববতু সহ নৌ ভুনক্তু সহ বীর্যং করবাবহৈ ...
  তেজস্বিনাবধীতমস্তু মা বিদ্বিষাবহৈ ...
  ॐ শান্তিঃ শান্তিঃ শান্তিঃ ...

Translation

  Om sahanababatu saha nou bhunaktu sahabirjang karababahai ...
  Tejaswinabadhitamastu ma bidbishabahai ...
  Om Shanti Shanti Shanti ...
