History
Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya is an coed English medium school, established under the auspices of the Vivekananda Kendra, Kanyakumari – a spiritually oriented service mission. It was constructed on New Khalihamari Road just 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) from Brahmaputra with the help of Mr. K. K. Narayanan, the mentor of Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya, and local citizens. With nine students and two teaching staff members, and K. K. Narayanan as the founder Principal with two rented rooms; the school had its humble beginning in the year 1981 at Khaliamari, Dibrugarh. Later, when the construction of the school building commenced, the school was moved from its current premises to an abandoned garage complex at Boiragimoth on Convoy Road, Dibrugarh. The school continued to function from its Khalihamari location until the end of 1984, after which it permanently moved to its present location on Vivekananda Path, East Chowkidinghee, Dibrugarh in the year 1985. Since then, the school has gradually expanded to accommodate an increasing number of students year-on-year, besides catering to the burgeoning interests of its members in school activities .
