Headmaster's column

Pancharul Srihari Vidyamandir started its journey on the auspicious day of 2nd February in 1949. To spread the light of wisdom against the darkness of ignorance and superstition and illiteracy, honourable Late Satish Chandra Samanta sowed the seed of education at Pancharul, an agriculture-based village of Udaynarayanpur Block in Howrah district. His brother Late Jatindranath Samanta made this effort powerful with his benevolent activities. Late Mohanlal Galaya, Late Binod Bihari Shee, Late Gangadhar Hait and many other education lovers  extended their cordial help to them. The school was named Pancharul Srihari Vidyamandir in memory of Late Srihari Samanta, uncle of Late Satish Chandra Samanta. In this regard it is worth-mentioning that at first the Vidyamandir started its operation at the ‘Bener Dalan’ at Pancharul Jagannath Tala, near about one kilometer away from the present school premises. Vidyamandir gained name and fame under the patronage and financial assistance of Samanta family. Overcoming the difficulties and hurdles the Vidyamandir has now gained its name and fame under the proper leadership of its headmasters. The Vidyamandir is still scattering the light of knowledge in the surrounding village and the school authority is still committed to do so in the days to come.
