The infrastructure of school was improved during the 1950s when Indian National Congress leader. Dr. Raghunandan Biswas was a Member of the Legislative Assembly. Initially it was affiliated to the University of Calcutta.[4] A two-storied dormitory was constructed for housing student attendees from distant areas that had no higher secondary schools. The building was transferred to the primary school section. The Mahatma Gandhi Smriti Balika Vidyapith (for girls)[5][6] is situated within a kilometer from this school.[7]
