Durbar High School had already opened in Kathmandu as the country's first educational institution. Local businessmen Raghubir Ram and Mahabir Prasad, who were eager to establish a school in Birgunj, also pleaded with the then Rana Prime Minister Juddha Shumsher for permission.
And in 1994, the ‘Nepal Government High English School Birgunj’ was opened. After that, the name was changed and it is currently operating as Trijuddha Mahavir Prasad Raghubir Ram Secondary School.
At that time, an attempt was made to balance the name of the school by adding the name of the then Rana Prime Minister Juddha Shamsher and the name of the then King Tribhuvan. Since there was no person with educational qualifications in Birgunj at that time, Vanamali Bhattacharya from Kolkata, India was appointed as the first principal of the school. The current Naveen Kumar Mishra is the 14th principal.
The first building of this school located in Birgunj was built by a donor in 1997. This school, which became a higher secondary school in 2067, has also started teaching technical civil engineering since 2073. The list of students who have ranked from first to top 10 in the SLC board from this school is long.
Rameshwor Prasad Upadhyay, Damodar Prasad Kyal, Nandakishore Prasad, Mahabir Prasad Agrawal, Babulal Agrawal, Rajendra Kawra, Suman Kumari Khanal (female) of 2004 were among the first to pass the board in this school. Spread over an area of three bighas, the school currently has four thousand students studying from grades 1 to 12. There are 115 teachers and a dozen employees working.
This school, which was run in English medium from its inception to 2028, was converted to a Nepali medium school after the implementation of the new education system. Since 2072, teaching and learning has started completely in English medium. Currently, 1,100 students are studying in grades 11 and 12 alone in the faculties of commerce and science.
There are 15 students in the special class for the visually impaired with residential facilities. There are 175 students in civil engineering from grades 9 to 12 in the technical side. Considering the convenience of 4,000 students, the school has been teaching in two sessions, morning and afternoon.
The school has a separate canteen for boys and girls. There are also facilities and infrastructure like a library, smart classrooms, and a large auditorium. A science laboratory is currently under construction. It is free up to grade 10. Students in grades 11 and 12 pay a monthly fee of Rs 500 as a contribution.
Trijuddha Mavi, which is competing with private schools, has attracted the attention of parents after starting to teach in English medium. ‘After the introduction of English medium in Trijuddha, I thought that I should send my daughter to a government school,’ says parent Dipendra Sharma, ‘Now I am satisfied that my child’s education is better than in a private school.’
Another parent, Ali Muhammad Mansuri, says that Trijuddha has become excellent because it teaches quality education as well as discipline. School Management Committee Chairman Rupeshman Singh says that he is working with full commitment not to let the trust placed in his school by the parents of Birgunj go to waste. "We are trying our best to further improve the educational quality of the school," he said, "and we are also focusing on developing the school's infrastructure."
