Brief history[edit]
Initially, the boys' home was founded on 1 September 1944, by Swami Punyananda, as an orphanage with a nuclear family of 37 boys, rendered orphan by the Great Famine of Bengal in 1942-1943.[3][4] The school [5][6] obtained recognition as a High School from the Calcutta University in January 1949. From 1957, it was upgraded to a Higher Secondary Multipurpose School with four streams, viz. Humanities, Science, Technical and Commerce. It has been sending up candidates for the Madhyamik Pariksha of the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education since 1976 under the new pattern of Secondary Education.
In 1963, the Government of India[7] selected it as one of the model multipurpose schools in the state.
