Netarhat Vidyalaya Samiti

In the years just after Independence, the need of the hour was to establish schools on certain ideals of universal validity. In the new India that had come to birth, the educational system was lacking in all those elements that define the formation of character and leadership and the development of individual aptitudes. After a lot of deliberation, F.G. Pearce's scheme finally received the general approval of the Bihar Govt. in 1952 and the Residential School was opened on 15th November, 1954 at Netarhat with Charles Napier as its first Principal. The first batch of students numbering 60 was admitted in 1954 for a six-year course. From 1982 onwards, the strength of boys was raised up to 100 The alumni of Netarhat school have excelled in almost all fields including Administration, Research, Medicine, Engineering and Teaching; and have gone on to hold important positions in top organisations across India and around the world.
