The genesis of the South Eastern Railway Boys’ Higher Secondary School, Adra can be traced back to the beginning of railway operations in the town, way back in the 1880s by the British. The opening up of the Adra railway station in 1887 helped in the gradual development of the town of Adra that eventually emerged as a railway town. Encouraged by the British Government’s Education Policy, coupled with the efforts of Indian nationalists like Gokhale, Aurobindo Ghosh and others, some railway officials, Nawaran Chandra Roy (O/S, Traffic), Santosh Kumar Banerjee (IOW), Giridhari Lala Pujara, D Leslie and E Birds, District Engineers, took steps leading to the establishment of B N Railway Indian School, for the Indian children.
South Eastern Railway Boys' Higher Secondary School, Adra is an important center of learning in this part of Purulia. Established by the British, way back in 1911, this school has gradually evolved into an educational institution of repute. A good number of students who have had their education here, have moved up in life and are making their presence felt by contributing to the society/nation in one way or the other. The physical infrastructure of the school has improved too and all the laboratories and the library are better equipped for the benefit of the students. The students are also getting an opportunity to use the computer lab of the school to make them computer literate. The teachers/faculty members of the school too, are giving their best so as to bring out the best potential of the students. It is evident in the number of awards/recognition that has come to this institution in the last few years, including that of the "Best School Award" of the South Eastern Railway.
