In the year 1853, Sri Ramkumar (Thakur’s elder brother) established this school (commonly known as ‘toll’ or ‘Chatuspathi’ in those days), and taught the students in the Jhamapukur area. He had to undertake this work to meet his family needs, as they had lost their father and Sri Ramkumar was practically the bread winner of the family. The toll (school) does not exist now. Instead, there is a Radhakrishna temple (Sri Shyamsundar Jiu) at the same location, and daily worship of the deity is performed.
