THE SCHOOL:
The
beginning: The present school had its seed in Brahmo Samaj
Boys’ School (later renamed Burdwan English School) which was
established by Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, along with Adi Brahmo Samaj,
Burdwan chapter in 1855. Bhagaban Chandra Basu, the then Deputy magistrate
of Burdwan and father of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose , was one of its
founders.
After the demise of Mahatab Chandra the Brahma movement in Burdwan became
weak through lack of patronage. The school was in dire financial straits.
The crisis was over when Burdwan Municipality took over the school and
Burdwan Municipal School started its journey anew on 1.1.1883.
