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.
