About Institution

The school came into force on 20th September, 1968. Shri. Sunil Kr. Pal was the first Governing-Officer of the school. He started educating with only five students on the onset. Practically education started smoothly from January 1970 onwards.

Shri. Debabrata Bandyopadhyay, then Minister of Jail & Social Welfare, officially inaugurated the students hostel/ residential campus on 5th July, 1986. He developed an expert-committee for the upliftment of the school. As prescribed by that committee the post of the Governing Officer was abolished; instead the post of Principal was created who would also be the D.D.O. & Head of the Office. Posts for five expert teachers, two craft-teachers, one music-teacher, two livestock & farm-teachers and four additional staffs were sanctioned.
