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. After Modern Education Act came in effect in 1971 BS [2028 BS], the school merged with Janatadhan Higher Secondary School. In 1980 [2037 BS], the school was reopened.
