About Us

Founded in 1967 in honor of Nepalese poet Bhanubhakta Acharya, Bhanubhakta Memorial Higher Secondary School has grown from a small rented building to a major educational institution with modern, separate buildings for each section. It’s managed by the Bhanubhakta Memorial Public Educational Trust and has boys’ hostel facilities, spacious classrooms, and state-of-the-art science labs.
