Pancharul Srihari Vidyamandir started its journey on the auspicious day of 2nd day of February, 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. Vidyamandir gained name and fame under the patro
nage 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 villages and the school authority is still committed to do so in the days to come. Satish babu's 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. The school started its new journey in the present building which was built at the donated land and money of the samanta family.The school started sending students for the school final exams.
