About The BSS School in 51A, Gariahat Road,, Calcutta Ballygunge

In July 1948, a girl's school named Balika Shiksha Sadan was established at 54 Gariahat Road under the auspices of Balika Shiksha Parishad of North Calcutta to open opportunities for the education of girls in South Calcutta.

When Balika Shiksha Sadan moved to its own premises at Vivekananda Road by the end of December 1949 a problem arose. About 350 girls were not able to shift to the new premises and so Ballygunge Shiksha Sadan was started on the 1st January 1950 at 54 Gariahat Road primarily to accommodate these girls. Subsequently, the site of 51A, Gariahat Road was purchased and the school building was constructed. On 5th March 1960 the school shifted into the new premises.

The History of the School cannot be complete without mentioning the names of two persons, Late Sri Bhagwati Prasad Khaitan (Founder President) and Late Sri Raghunath Prasad Khaitan (Founder Secretary and Later President). Under their able guidance , hard work and financial support both provided and collected, the school has grown from its inception to its present stature.

From a relatively small beginning the school has grown substantially over the years to its present form under the auspicies of Ballygunge Shiksha Samity.
