The history of this school is associated with "The Gorkhali Soldiers who worked under the British-India-Army and sacrificed their lives during the First and Second World War. Thousands of Gorkhali soldiers were killed and many of them disappeared. The payment due to those missing soldiers was established in the name of "Post-war Reconstruction Fund" for the welfare of Gorkhali ex-soldiers' families. In 1955, colonel P.C. Mohan the then military secretary of Indian Embassy came to Pokhara and visited Late Major Bir Singh Gurung. He talked with Major Bir Singh Gurung and expressed his willingness to establish a school and hospital for the welfare of Gorkhali ex-soldiers' families with the use of "Post-war Reconstruction Fund". Indian Government formed Central Co-ordination Board (CCB) to use the PWRF. With this fund; "Ex-Indian Gorkha Soldiers' Board Vocational Training High School" was established on 26th March 1957 in the land donated by Mukhiya Dev Raj Ghimire and Ghimire families.
