History
Netaji Subhash Vidyaniketan was established in 1948. The founding patrons of the school were inspired by the ideologies of the Indian freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

The first secretary of the Managing Committee was Late Gopi Ballav Saha. The first headmaster of the school was Mr. Satinath Bharadwaj. The school catered to the young children of families that had migrated to Agartala after the partition of India. Subsequently, NSV flourished under the leadership of Mr. Hirendranath Nandi. Mr. Nandi was an educationist and a devout Netajian who devoted his life in turning the school from a small primary school to a center of excellence in school-level education in the north-eastern region of India.
