Established in 1957 [2014 BS] by Soldier Board (India), Ganesh Secondary School is one of the oldest schools. In 1964 [2021 BS], the Indian Soldier Board stopped its grant. Since there was no school support mechanism developed from the Government of Nepal, the school passed through many ups and downs.
