History

         For the painful division of the Nation in the year 1947, there was a sea change among the population in the Dum Dum area. A stream of poor people was compelled to come in West Bengal from the then East Pakistan and had to settle down here in Dum Dum pennilessly. Here and there, the refugees made their colonies but there was no sufficient educational institution for the basic education of this poor and weak section of the society. To overcome this fatal problem, some generous and benevolent people like Sri Chunilal Chakroborty, Sri Birendralal Mitra, Sri Dwijoranjan Sarkar, Srimati Gouri Mitra, Sri Bhupen Kumar Dey, Sri Ashit Ranjan Mitra, and others came forward to establish a Boys' Madhyamik Vidyalaya ------ DUM DUM SARVODAYA VIDYAPITH on 12th February 1958 under the banner of a philanthropic society namely MANAB SHIKSHA SAMAJ. The president of the society was Sri SANKAR PRASAD MITRA, the then Chief Justice of CALCUTTA HIGH COURT.

      It is a great pleasure for us to mention the fact that on 12th February 1958, the school got recognition from the West Bengal Government up to class VIII as a Co-education School. And in the year 1963 West Bengal Education Department gave its recognition up to class X. Naturally, in the year 1965 students of our Institution were allowed to appear in the Madhyamik Pariksha under the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education.

     This is a brief and pleasing memory of Dum Dum Sarvodaya Vidyapith. It is now a reality that the present generation is very much thankful for the people who set up this Institution which is now running smoothly & serving the first-generation learners sympathetically.
