History & Location
Location: Nahata High School (H.S.), P.O. Nahata, Dist. North 24 Parganas, Pin 743290, is a remote reputed institution in rural Bengal. It started on 2nd January, 1949. The school was established by the then "Educational Reformers" of this area. At first it was situated at "Beltala" of Nahata Uttar Bazar, Satashi More (which is now Nahata F. P. School and Police Camp). In 1971-72 Nahata High School was shifted to the bank of the river Yamuna.
It stands at latitude 22° 58.74′ North and longitude 88° 41.94′ East, about 8 km from Chandpara Rly. Station; auto-rickshaws are available to reach the school. From Bongaon the school is about 18 km by bus or auto-rickshaw.
Our Students
We have almost 1700 students who come from the neighbouring areas as well as distant regions. Almost all the students come from poor S.C., S.T. and O.B.C. communities, because Nahata is an agricultural area; here the people depend on agriculture, and drought and flood are always their companions.
There are four departments in our school: General, Vocational, Pilot Project under NSQF and Rabindra Mukta Vidyalaya. The total number of teaching and non-teaching staff of these streams is 48 at present.
