Our History

In the year 2005 four people from the village of Herma namely bankim Debbarma, Sanjeev Debbarma, Ranjit Debbarma and Binnoy Debbarma  went to meet and ask the  Holy Cross fathers  for a school at Herma. Since the territory was under the parish of Bishramganj, they were directed to meet the parish priest to talk about the school. They met Fr P.J.Joseph sdb  It was in the year 2005 that a plot of land measuring 12 acres was purchared at Herma. In an area 10Kms away from Bishramganj.  It is rural area where the tribal people were very eager to have an English medium school  They realized that their  Chirldren, for the mast part were not able to pass their SSLC examination due to the dedium of instruction  Bengali.  Since it was not their native tongue and since they find it difficult, it being more being more complex than their mother-toongue, Kok Borok, they found that the only was for them to come up out of the  clutches of poverty and malnutrition was to give them a good English medium school. On the 22^nd of October a group of people came from Bishramganj to clear the jungle for the new school. It took six days to clear the jungle.  It was in this context that Don Bosco centre, Bishramganj accepted the proposal and pruchared the land. In the same year on the 29^th of November the foundation stone was laid.   Due to various reasons, particularly due to the financial constraints the said school, Don Bosco Herma was built in year 2009 by Fr Joseph (Sunny) Sdb, and Fr KK Jose Sdb and the classes began on the 15^th February in 2010.  It began with four classes, from nursery to class II. There were 68 students on the rolls. On the first day of the school there were, Miss Radhika Marak,Miss Pranmala Molsam, Br Sandhan Sdb and FR KK Jose the Principal. With the first assembly the school started.  The official inauguration was kept for a later date to complete  the painting of the school building. The building was painted with yellow and the pillars with Red. It had  tin roof.  But the official starting never took place.   In the following  year the number was 97, with the addition of class III.  The parents and the guardians were very eager for the school to proceed to class X. In the year 2016 there are 215 students up to Class VIII, with 11 teachers and one Milon on the non-teaching staff. Fr Thomas  joined the school in place of  Fr KK Jose.  Rev FR Kk jose is transferred to Umran.

In the year 2014, on 22^nd January, electricity was brought through help of the four people who went ask for the school and the generous help the of MLA (late) Mr. Ramendra Narayan Debbarma .The sisters of FMM came daily from the 15^th of July 2013. They were coming daily from Bishramganj by line bus. On the  29^th of August 2013 the sisters began to stay near to the school in the school compound, in a small house. The people of the place always had a feeling that the school land was haunted and not good for the people to stay over the  night.  On the 30^th morning of the same month August as soon as the school children came they went to see the sisters alive  or not. They were surprised to find the sisters, all the sisters were alive and healthy. The children were touching the sisters and shaking hands with them to make sure they were not ghosts.  Although the sisters, loved to stay, the place was lonely and not so conducive, and so they left in the same year on the 17^th of December to stay at Bishramganj.
