Swami Akhandananda Maharaj, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, established this institution in 1897. He came to the nearby village Mahula for helping the famine affected poor villagers of Murshidabad on 15 May 1897. The present site of Sargachi ashrama was taken over in 1913. Akhandananda started an orphanage and primary school initially to provide quality education to the local students.[4]
At present, this is a higher secondary school now. There is a hostel for about 65 boys besides the school, where about 12 students from each class between V to X reside. This institution has been governed by many respected missionaries of the Ramakrishna mission.[5]
