History

            Banamalipur Priyanath Institution, a prestigious educational institution situated at the heart of Barasat town, stands still with its marvellous achievement of completing 62 glorious years. Started as small, humble, rural school at a tranquil, picturesque village called Banamalipur – inhabited mostly by the refugees – by Late Santosh Kumar Bhattacharya in memory of his philanthropist father Late Priyanath Bhattacharya, the school has steadily flourished into a multidimensional institution over the last six decades. It was founded on 13th March, 1958. Santosh Kumar Bhattacharya was an educationist, great visionary and a person with impeccable generous mind. The tireless effort and contribution of luminaries like Late Keshab Chandra Dutta, Manimohan Malakar, Prafulla Kr. Roychowdhury, Kiran Ch. Ghoshal, K.C. Dhar, Upendranath Kar, Haripada Kar, Sumit Kr. Dutta, Manmathanath Roychowdhury, Ajit Kr. Mitra, Atul Kr. Dutta, Paritosh Dey, Ananda Charan Biswas, Baidyanath Bhattacharya and Chunilal Sarkar will always be remembered with respect and gratitude in the gradual development of this Institution.                  

            With a glorious tradition and brilliant record of achievement behind it, Banamalipur Priyanath Institution got its first affiliation for the 5th & 6th standard on 1st April, 1958 and for the 7th & 8th standard on 1st January, 1962. The school received the status of a secondary school with the affiliation of the WBBSE on 1st January 1964. From the 1996 – 97 Academic Session, it was upgraded by the WBCHSE into A Higher Secondary school with the introduction of Science and Arts streams. From the 2003 – 04 Academic year, the Commerce Stream commenced and has thus fulfilled the long cherished dream of the local people of having a full – fledged Higher Secondary school.
