Hirendra Leela Patranavis School

The school was established in the year 1954 by Late Hirendra Nath Patranavis and his wife Late Leela Patranavis, two visionary educationists having philanthropic ideals. The school was started in a rented house at 4A, Nandy Street, Kolkata–700 019 with a few teachers and about 15 students. In 1986, it was shifted to a building at 25/20 Prince Golam Md.
