About Vidya Niketan

Our Story, Our Values, Our Promise to Every Child.

Who We Are

School Overview

Vidya Niketan is a luminous name among the English-medium schools of Kolkata. Established under the Awadh Narayan Welfare Trust, the school received its CISCE affiliation in 2005 (School Code: WB219) and has since built an enduring reputation for academic rigour, holistic development, and values-led education.

Located on Vivekananda Park Road in Bansdroni, South Kolkata, Vidya Niketan is a co-educational institution that offers education from Pre-Nursery through Class XII — covering both ICSE (Class X) and ISC (Class XII) curricula.

The institution aspires to prepare young people to be tomorrow's citizens — well equipped morally, intellectually, culturally, and physically to play their respective roles in both individual and collective lives.

Our Vision

"To develop well-rounded, confident, and responsible individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential — in a welcoming, safe, and supportive learning environment where every child is equal and every achievement is celebrated."

A Message from Our Secretary

Secretary, Vidya Niketan

Secretary's Message

Dear Parents, Students and Well-Wishers,

It gives me immense joy to welcome you to Vidya Niketan — a school that has stood for something greater than mere academic performance for over two decades.

At Vidya Niketan, we believe in education that follows the path shown by Swami Vivekananda — an education that builds not just knowledge, but character. We prepare students who are ready not just for examinations, but for life itself.

Our dedicated faculty, modern teaching systems, and active parent–school partnership ensure that every child receives individual attention, psychological support, and the cultural enrichment they need to become well-rounded human beings.

We are grateful for the trust that thousands of Kolkata families have placed in us — and we renew our commitment each day to honour that trust.

With warm regards,

Mr. Sanjay Prasad

Secretary, Vidya Niketan · Vivekananda Park Road, Bansdroni, Kolkata
