History
The Central Hindu Boys School had been established in 1898 by the Irish lady Dr. Annie Besant at Kamachha in the big Kashi Naresh Hall with the help of the then Kashi Naresh Maharaja Prabhu Narayan Singh. Initially the classes were started upto IX & X Class level and the approval for college was sought from the syndicate of Prayag Vishwa Vidyalay. On the request of Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya she handed over the college to Mahamana to support his proposal for establishing Banaras Hindu University. Dr. Annie Besant handed over the college and school to society of Banaras Hindu University in 1914 with the condition that this institution shall be maintained and looked after by the Banaras Hindu University. Up to 1976, the Banaras Hindu University had been conducting X class examinations of the school as �Admission Examination�. Various Pre university courses, e.g. Pre Medical, Pre. Engineering, Pre Agriculture etc. at XI & XII class level were introduced from time to time. The Pre University courses ran here until the university adopted new 10+2 education system in 1976, when the school was affiliated to CBSE for examination of X & XII class. The school has been centre of learning for students not only from all nook and corners of India but also from abroad. The great astronomer and Meteorologist Dr. J.V. Narilakar had been the student of this institution. There have been numerous other scholars from this institution who have excelled world over.
