Our History

Shree Bhanu Bhakta Secondary School was established in 2008 B.S. (1951 A.D.) in the beautiful town of Mangalbare, under Deumai Municipality, Ilam District, with a visionary aim to bring quality education to the children of this hilly and rural region. At a time when formal education was a privilege available to only a few in Nepal, local leaders, educationists, and social reformers came together with a shared dream — to light the lamp of learning in their own community.

Named after Bhanu Bhakta Acharya, Nepal’s first poet and a symbol of wisdom and nationalism, the school began as a primary school, operating with very limited resources, a few classrooms, and a handful of dedicated teachers. Yet, the commitment to teaching and community support laid a strong foundation for steady growth.

Over the decades, the school has undergone remarkable transformations:
