Established in 1905

as an experiment in the field of education by Gopabandhu Das, the school started with 19 students. According to Das, schools had to become man-making industries and had to be instrumental in the harmonious development of a child's personality.

As a model for other schools, children from all castes and classes sat, dined, lived and studied together. There was ample scope in the school for co-curricular activities including social service, exercise, kavi sammelans. The school aimed to cultivate ideals of patriotism in the hearts of students.

Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee and many other scholars were impressed by its simplicity and naturalistic harmonious approach towards education.
