The foundation stone of the current school building was laid by Governor Vijay Kumar Singh in January 2010 when he was the Eastern Army Commander, and the building was later constructed by the 4th Assam Rifles under the Military Civic Action programme.
The school currently has 36 specially-abled students enrolled.
