The admission form of students will be submitted to the school at 10 am on March 21. But the parents of the students waited in front of the school for two days to collect the roll forms.
The school established in 1882 has 60 seats in the first class. But hundreds of parents are hoping to get their children enrolled in the school. As a result, they were seen waiting to collect the form day and night in front of the school.
Even at night, many parents were seen waiting to collect forms in front of the school. Some pulled on the mosquito net, some lit incense and chased the mosquitoes, others slept in cars, rickshaws, and spent the night. They had one goal which is to collect forms from the school for admission of children.
Gautam Bora is currently in charge of the headmaster of the school. The school's teachers have said that the beautiful educational environment created by the school, the ability of the students to build well, requires yearly admissions.
