'''Bankura Hindu High School''' is one of the oldest schools in [[Bankura District]], [[West Bengal]], India. This school, popularly known as [[Hindu philosophy|Hindu School]], was founded in 1894. The main language of instruction is [[Bengali language|Bengali]].<br />

==History==<br />
<br />
In the year of 1894 A. D., a distinguished person named Dakshinaranjan Barat and some of his associates of the contemporary [[Bankura|Bankura town]], established a middle English school named 'Hindu School' in the town. The school was at first at Doltala locality, then accommodated in a mudbuilt house (on the spot where, there is now '[[Deshbandhu Byayam Vidyalaya]]) and then shifted at the personal initiative of Dakshinacharan to a building erected by him at Nutanganj (now Bankura Town High School building) as a High School. Finally Bankura Hindu High School was shifted to a spacious and majestic building of its own in the year of 1934 A.D. as inscribed on the well sunk in its premises, by the Pilgrim road. It was recognised as a High English School by the [[University of Calcutta|Calcutta University]] in 1900 A.D. The school sprang up just before the shifting of the [[Mission school|Missionary School]] to elsewhere, from [[Kuchkuchia]]. According to some senior teachers of the school, it grew up in a nationalistic spirit to combat the influence of the [[Missionary|missionaries]] in the town and so it was named 'Hindu School.{{Citation needed|date=December 2025}}<br />
