History
editThere are two schools in this area, Nandigram BMT Sikshaniketan exclusively for boys till 10th standard and co-ed for 11th and 12th standard and Nandigram BM Girls High School exclusively for girls till 10th standard. But in the year 2015, the High Court of Calcutta passed an order stated that "Nandigram Brajamohan Tewary Sikshaniketan shall be entitled to admit a maximum of 100 students with effect from the current session, if there are willing girl students, not yet admitted, who would like to take admission. It shall, however, be ensured that no student of Nandigram Brajamohan Girls' High School is admitted there on transfer."[4][5]
Establishment and development
editRecognizing the deplorable state of education in the area, in 1912, some expatriates and local education devotees endeavoured to establish a high school in the town. Through their relentless efforts, the first seed of today's BMT Sikshaniketan was sown in those very humble beginnings. This noble endeavor was brought to fruition by the generous land and financial contributions of kind-hearted individuals like Raj Bahadur of Mahishadal, Sri Brajamohan Tewary, and Sri Fakirchand Das. Since then, the school has proudly continued to provide education, overcoming various adversities and obstacles.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
Hostel facility
editNandigram BMT OBC Central Hostel is a residential facility for female students at Nandigram BMT Sikshaniketan. Established to support female education, the hostel offers accommodation to around 100 students.[12]
