Burdwan Municipal High School, located at the heart of Bardhaman, a town 95 km north-west of Kolkata, is one of the oldest boys' schools in India. The school was established in 1883 by Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, along with Adi Brahmo Samaj as Brahmo Samaj Boys’ School. The school is located at the heart of Burdwan.
History
In 1855 Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, along with Adi Brahmo Samaj established Brahmo Samaj Boys’ School (later renamed Burdwan English School). 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 for lack of patronage and the school became in financial straits. Burdwan Municipality took over the school and Burdwan Municipal High School started its journey anew in 1883.
