Narkeldanga High School

Narkeldanga High School, India, is one of the oldest schools in Kolkata. Shree Rakhal Chandra Ghosh, a man noted for his social work during the Bengali Renaissance, started the school in his house in 1862. Later it was primarily owing to the efforts of Sir Gurudas Bandyopadhyay, the first Indian Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University, that Narikeldanga High School became an institution of secondary standard.
