History

The Home of Learning that was built on the spirited endeavors of a handful of inspired youths has now reached the age of 75. On 3rd March 1948, it was first named "New Agartala High School" which remained upto 1949 while it was only a Boys' school. Later those educationists, inspired by Netaji's ideals, renamed the school "Netaji Subhash Vidyaniketan" which after many ups and downs has remained a proud name within the field of education of the state.

On 25th February 1948 started the first phase of the school where only one student was enrolled. On 3rd March 1948, at Mr. Dwijen Dey's home at Orient Chowmuhoni of Agartala "New Agartala High School" opened and there it stayed upto 2nd March 1949. On 3rd March 1949, it shifted to its present location as our Heart "Netaji Subhash Vidyaniketan". The road to the future was opened for the children of the refugees of the state. Netaji Subhash Vidyaniketan started its journey with the motto of "Unity, Faith and Sacrifice" with its first Head-Master being the respected Mr. Satinath Bhardwaj. After that, the responsibility of Head-Master was taken up by a disciple of Netaji's ideals, the honourable Mr. Hirendranath Nandi with honourable Mr. Dinesh Chandra Dutta acting as Assistant Head-Master. The continuous success of the school began from that point. It became a center for cultural activity. Within the bamboo huts, made from materials brought from Ishaanchandranagar and Nishchindapur, educational and cultural activities accelerated the development of Netaji Subhash Vidyaniketan. Though the school house was burnt down many times, its progress was never hindered. In 1958, the "Sanskriti Bhawan" was built to promote cultural activities. This was the vision of Head-Master Hirendranath Nandi and the 'Sanskriti Bhawan' was inaugurated by scientist Satyen Bose and the-then editor of ' Jugantar' newspaper Dakshina Ranjan Bose. The students gave their own tireless labour to build this 'Sanskriti Bhawan' and to honour their great endeavor no student, guardian or guest is allowed to enter with their shoes on into this great hall. The hut of the past is now a building, tall and proud. Time has placed many bends in our road but we have not strayed from our goals. Behind it lies the great efforts of all our respected and idealist teachers.
