This village, located in Rautahat District, recognized the importance of education and the revival of the ancient Sanskrit language. As a result, Sanskrit Madhyamik School and Shri Saraswati Middle English School were established in 2011 B.S. (1954 A.D.). However, over time, due to the devastating erosion caused by the Bagmati River, the schools were completely destroyed. Later, Sanskrit Madhyamik School was merged with another Sanskrit school in Kalaiya, Bara.
Revival of Education in the Village
After losing their school, the children of this village were left without education. To address this, Nepal Rastriya Primary School was approved, offering education up to Grade 5. However, another wave of Bagmati River erosion soon followed, devastating both the school and the entire village.
Following this, the Nepal Red Cross acquired 9-0-0 (9 bighas) of land in Biraha, where the village was relocated. Portions of this land were allocated for public institutions, including the reconstruction of Nepal Rastriya Primary School, which was re-established with a thatched-roof building and resumed education up to Grade 5.
Transformation into a Sanskrit Secondary School
During a district visit by the then Director General of Education, Mr. Harihar Prasad Verma, he visited the school and, considering the majority Brahmin population and the importance of reviving the Sanskrit language and Sanatan traditions, approved its upgrade to a Sanskrit Secondary School.
Later, the District Education Committee officially recognized the school as a Sanskrit Madhyamik Vidyalaya (Secondary School). As the educational landscape evolved, all secondary schools were required to offer Grades 11 and 12. With the relentless efforts of the Village Development Committee (VDC) and the local intellectual community, the school was granted approval in 2066 B.S. (2009 A.D.) to introduce higher secondary education (Grades 11 and 12). Since then, the school has been providing uninterrupted education.

रौतहट जिल्लामा अवस्थित यो गाउँ शिक्षाको महत्व बुभई एवम् सनातन भाषा संस्कृतको पुनरुथानका लागि यहाँ संस्कृत माध्यमिक एवम् श्री सरस्वती मिडिन इंगलिस स्कुलको स्थापना वि. सं. २०११ शालमा गरेको थियो । तर कालन्तरमा बागमति नदीको भिष्ण प्रकोप वाट नदीकटानमा परी विलुप्त हुन पुग्यो र केही समय पश्चात संस्कृत माध्यमिक वाराको कलैयामा स्थित संस्कृत माध्यमिकमा लगेर गाभियो ।
तत पश्चात विद्यालय विहिन यहाँका वालवालिकाको पठनपाठनकार्यको लोप हुँदै गएको अवस्थामा यहाँ नेपाल राष्ट्रिय प्राथमिकको स्वीक्नि भयो र कक्षा ५ सम्मको पठन पाठान प्रारम्भ भयो । केही समय पश्चात पुःन वागमति नदीको कटान सुरु भयो तया विद्यालय समेत पुरै गाउं कटानको भिषण चपेटमा पर्यो ।
त्यस पछि नेपाल रेडक्रस बाट ९-०-० विरहा जग्गा अधिग्रहण गरी गाउँको बसोवास गराइयो साथै यस जग्गामा सार्वर्जातक प्रतिष्ठानहरुको लागी जग्गा छुट्याइयो। यसै जग्गामा पुःन नेपाल राष्ट्रिय पामिकको खपडैल भवनको निर्माण गराइ कक्षा ५ सम्मको पठन पाठन प्रारम्भ भयो ।
केही समय पश्चात ततकालिन शिक्षा महानिर्देशक श्री हरिहर प्रसाद वर्मा ज्यूको जिल्ला भम्रण भयो र वहाको आगमन यस विद्यालयमा भयो । ब्रहमण समाजको बाहुल्यता एवम् सनातन संस्कृत भाषाको पुर्नउथान एवम् जगेरना गर्न संस्कृत भाषको महत्व लाई आत्मसाथगदै यस विद्यालयलाई संस्कृत नि मा.वि. को स्विकृक्ति वहाको असिम अनुकमा वाट प्रप्त भयो ।
केही समय पश्चात जिल्ला शिक्षा समितिबाट यस विद्यालयलाई संस्कृत माध्यमिक विज्ञालयको स्विकृति प्रदान गरियो । त्यसपछि शिक्षाको वदलिदो अवस्थामा प्रत्ययेक माध्यमिकहरुमा कक्षा ११,१२ को अध्ययन अध्यापन अनिवार्य गर्ने भयकोले गा.वि.स. र यस वौद्धिक समाजको अथक प्रयास बाट वि.सं. २०६६ सालमा कक्षा ११,१२ को अध्ययन अध्यापन गर्नको लागि स्विकृति प्रदान भई हालसम्म पठन पाठन सुचारु हुदै आइरहेको छ ।
