ORIENT DAY SCHOOL

An English-Medium school, in its true sense, was an extreme need of Behala for a long time. Hundreds of students, despite multifarious difficulties, had to go a long way from Behala to seek education through the medium of English – the universally accepted Lingua Franca of the World. The attention of Dr. J. L. Banerjee, a renowned physician of Behala, was drawn to the plight of the students. With strong feeling and sincere urge for education, Dr. Banerjee established Orient Day School in 1977, the academic session of which started from 1979. In April, 1977, Dr. Banerjee most generously transferred the school unconditionally to the Management of The Orient Education Society (Registered under the Registration of Societies Act, 1961). The school is being managed by a Board of Governors headed by Dr. J.L. Banerjee, the Founder-President. At first, the school was up to Standard-III with 100 students on the rolls. Dr. P.R. Sengupta took charge as the Head of the Institution on 1978 and worked untiringly with Dr. J.L. Banerjee to get the school affiliated to the CISCE, New Delhi in 1985.
