The J. J. Ajmera High School or the Bhawanipur Gujarati Education Society School was founded in 1928. Both the school and college were started by a privately owned trust started by a
Gujarati businessman living in
Kolkata and even the land on which the school and college stands was donated by a few generous Gujarati businessman. The fund for construction of school building was donated by a gentleman after whom the school was named, J. J. Ajmera High School. The original purpose of the founders was to give their wards an education in Gujarati, so that they learn writing and speaking in their mother tongue and till almost a decade ago, the admission to school was restricted to only Gujarati speaking people, as per original rules of the trust. Since the beginning of the school in 1928 till 2001, the medium of study till class V was totally in Gujarati and from VI onwards in English and the second language was Gujarati.
Bengali was taught as a subject only for two years Class V and VI. The school was at that time affiliated to
WB Board till the year 2001 and students had to appear for
Madhyamik examinations for passing out. ==Present day==
