In 1947, India gained independence amid the agonies of Partition, preceded by violent communal riots. Vast numbers of people were uprooted from their homes in East Bengal and began arriving in West Bengal as refugees. Recognising their plight, the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, the late Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, initiated efforts to obtain compensation from the Allied Forces' headquarters. After persistent endeavours by both Dr. Roy and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, the compensation was secured. Dr. Roy was resolute that the funds be used to build a new township for the displaced families on the site of the former air-base. The township of Ashoknagar — located approximately 48 kilometres from Kolkata — came into being a few years after independence, and was gradually populated by refugees from erstwhile East Bengal (now Bangladesh).

These settlers were cultured, education-loving people — admirers of learning, art, theatre, and literature. They first set about establishing schools, both primary and secondary, in Ashoknagar for the academic advancement of their children.
