The seed of D.H.B Road Aurobindo Vidyamandir was sown in 1976 when a few members of Jadavpur University Alumni Association Durgapur Branch envisioned the concept of an English Medium school for the tiny tots of Durgapur. Sri Tripurari Chatterjee, the then President of the Association inspired the members and helped them in many ways to bring about the school. His hard work towards making the proje
ct successful is worth remembering.A small group comprising Sri A. Mahapatra, Sri Probuddha Bhattacharya, Sri Ashish Das Sharma, Lt Tusher Bhadra, Sri A. Dubey(1961 M), Sri Vivekananda Bhattacharya, Sri Kalyan Bose, Lt. P Bose, Lt. Ganesh Dutta, gave the concrete shape to the idea. The first step was taken forward when Dr. Gokul Mukherjee, the then G. of Alloy Steel Plant allotted the house 2A, Kanishka Road to make the beginning.The name of the school Aurobindo Vidyamandir was suggested By Dr.Gokul Mukherjee because of the link Sri Aurobindo had with the University. ( National College of Education was formed in 1906 of which Sri Aurobindo was the Principal, later it became the renowned Jadavpur University ).Initially the wives of the founding members offered voluntary service. Mrs. Sumita Mukherjee was the first teacher in- charge. With time as the number of students increased the small house was found not enough for accommodation. So a land was procured on lease from DSP on Harshabardhan Road and the foundation Stone was laid in 1984 by Sri M.C. De Tarafdar, ED, ASP and the then President of the Alumni Association. Thus in the new building D. H. B Road Aurobindo Vidyamandir began the second lap of its journey with a refreshed dream and vision. The school had some outstanding contributions by Mrs. Namita DharGupta, Sri Debesh Chandra Roy, Suhash Chandra Bhattacharya and Mrs. Aditi Ghosh. At present Mrs. Aditi Ghosh as the Principal of the school is making a sincere effort to help the school move ahead with a positive attribution.
