CPSCS-Cantonment Public School and College,Saidpur

Cantonment Public School and College, Saidpur is situated at the North-east corner of Saidpur Cantonment, a little distant from the din and bustle of busy Saidpur town. In 1979 some encouraging and patronizing officers of Saidpur Cantonment felt necessity to have a modernized and progressive educational institution in this region. Being encouraged with this motto, the then station commander Col SM Shamsuzzaman took all possible constant endeavours with the help of some elite and patronizing army officers to establish a renowned educational institution both for children of the armed forces and the people of this region. Thus Cantonment Public School and College, Saidpur was established on 4th April, 1979 taking two officers’ bungalows as school campus with 156 students and 10 teachers. Initially the classes started from play group to class VIII.

After the accomplishment of the ground floor of the present School building in the year 1982, the School had been shifted in its present location from the officers’ bungalows. The first floor of this School building was completed in 1985. In 1984 the people of the region saw another revolution in the field of education. The revolution was the inauguration of College Section in this institution. With the inauguration of the college section, the long-cherished dream of the people of North-Bengal for having a well-disciplined college was implemented. Like school section, college section also started achieving brightest results in the public examinations.

With the passage of time for the children of armed forces personnel and the people of the region, it was felt necessary to establish an English Medium School in this backward area, as there was no English Medium School to teach English effectively. Understanding this need of the people, the authority of this institution took the necessary step and opened English Medium Section in 1997. Since then it is also functioning well.
