History: Though Fr. Mangal Das, S. J. wanted to start a house in Bankura in 1980, he could not identify a suitable and accessible place. Finally in 1990, he bought land near the river at Bankura town and started a hostel for school students in a small shed in July 1991. Fr. P. C. Mathew S. J. bought more land in 1993 and fenced the area. Fr. Mathew developed the center. In 1996 a well furnished boarding was constructed.
