In our country the process of  giving and receiving education has been going on from the ancient times. In the beginning there were no formal institutions to educate people. The children learned skills related to their occupations and social norms and values from their parents. Many things were fixed by religion. Therefore, education can be said to have begun from the religious institutions. According to Hindu tradition, people were give education based on Gurukul system. According to Buddhist tradition, people were taught in monasteries (Gumbas and Bihars). Similarly, people were taught at public buildings (sattalo) and open sitting spaces (platforms)

On behalf of civil society and community of people is Balguru Khadanad established Sanskrit school at Dingla of  Bhojpur in the year 1932 B.S. After jung Bahadur, Dev Shamsher opened language schools in the year 1958. As an emphasis on education, he opened more than 100 language school in several places of the nation.
