Burdwan Town School

About Institution

Burdwan Town School, Estd: 1925. An important year in the history of Burdwan Town School. The idea of Govt. school is gaining ground at this time. In this very year Mr. Griffiith, School Inspector of Burdwan Division, proposed that Burdwan Municipal School be divided into two parts for the smooth run of it because the number of students of that school was 800 and that of the teacher was 30. Almost simultaneously Moulana Abdul Kasem, then Council Member from Burdwan, staked a strong demand with the Government for a District Govt. School. It is interesting to note that there were 28 districts in five Administrative Divisions of Undivided Bengal, and all the districts had District Govt. Schools except Burdwan and Mednapur. With this view the Government chose a big Garden House to the south-west of the then court (Kachary Bari). 27 bighas of land with two ponds, a beautifully decorated two storied building and fruit orchard was purchased from Gatiprakash Nandey by the Govt. for Rs102000.00 and PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED BURDWAN ZILLA SCHOOL BUILDING was submitted with the Municipality of Burdwan for its sanction and permission. But Gandhi started his Non- Cooperation Movement that upset all the plans for the school. The Govt. then decided to establish a good school of indigenous nature. Accordingly, decision was taken to establish Burdwan Town School under a strong Managing Committee and the expenditure would be borne by the Government. The school will have the gravity and status of a Zilla School.

Vision

Our mission and vision is to make ‘man’ in society-man in the truest sense of the term. Unless a child is ‘man’, he can not survive in society which is the most kind and cruel factor in human life. A child must learn to work honestly for society and in return society will give him her honest protection for his survival. Our mission is to fulfill all these demands of both ‘man’ and society.
