Netarhat Residential School was set up on 15 November 1954, after the freedom of India for individuals of province of Bihar. It was a fantasy of the main boss priest of Bihar, Shri Krishna Singh and his vice president clergyman and money serve Anugrah Narayan Sinha to build up a focal point of excellence.The educationist Frederick Gordon Pearce, Jagadish Chandra Mather and Sachidanand Sinha assumed a fundamental part in making the arrangements for the school (or Netarhat Vidyalaya). Pearce has gotten credit from Rajendra Prasad, then the leader of India for his works.

The school is arranged far away from the bustling existence of town, on the level of Chhotanagpur, in the province of Jharkhand in India. The entire air depends on Gurukul – away from home, remaining in Ashrams, straightforward and country-made dress dependent on the Gandhian way of thinking. The school has created residents who are following the adage of school Atta Dipa Viharatha – be thy own light.

 

The directing way of thinking can be summed up by the accompanying shloka in Sanskrit scratched at the passage of the fundamental structure of the school.

 

ना त्वहम् कामये राज्यम् ना स्वर्गम् ना पुनर्भवम् |

 

कामये दुःखतप्ताणाम् प्राणीणामार्त्ति नाशनाम् ||

 

(Gracious Lord, I want not realm nor the sky nor even moksha. All I want is to eliminate the experiencing the beset creatures.)

The school song

वन्दे! वन्दे हे सुन्दर मम सखा नेतरहाट सदा,
वन्दे हे सुन्दर मम सखा नेतरहाट।

धन्य महाप्रांगण यह विंध्य प्रकृति क्रीड़ा का;
वन मे वनपशुओं का विचरण स्वच्छन्द यहाँ;
विहगों से कंठ मिला गाते नवगान सदा,
वन्दे! वन्दे हे सुन्दर मम सखा नेतरहाट सदा।

उषा के साथ जगें,प्रतिदिन मंगलमय हो;
कार्य पूर्ण प्रतिपल हो,ज्ञान वृद्धि जनहित हो;
अंतरतर का मधुमय गाये संगीत सदा,
वन्दे! वन्दे हे सुन्दर मम सखा नेतरहाट सदा।

Seats are reserved for the students belonging to the scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other classes as defined by the state government.

The medium of instruction is Hindi/English and the curriculum is based on the standards set by the Jharkhand School Examination Board and the Jharkhand Intermediate Education Council.
