Brief History
Barobisha is a very tiny township situated in the valley of Kumargarmduar. Kumargramduar is at the foothill of The Himalayas making border with Bhutan in the North and Assam in the East. Two rivers the Sankosh and the Raidak flows on the either sides of the valley, in the East and the West. The vast greenery, majestic tea gardens, lofty Blue Mountains and chirps of birds make it unique. The uniqueness is described more by the simplicity of people. Its beauty glitters in the morning sunshine and in the twilight of setting sun. the valley is the splendor of God's Creation.
Barobisha has all amenities of modern life with market complex, high ways, transportation, health care centre and what not.
In the midst of all these, a school was a must. To equip with modern trend of education, it was felt that a school had to be set up, which the children not only of this town but also that of entire valley were missing. A seat of learning that can cradle a bud into a full bloom flower was in the inner most desire of many parents.
It was a very beautiful morning of 2005AD. A school was set up in a rented kutcha house in this township of Barobisha. The school was named Open Truth English Medium School. Open Truth English Medium School is the maiden school in this valley as well as in the district of Alipurduar. The institute provides her young generation the light of education scholastic and moralistic. Since her foundation in 2005, the school has been trying her best to fulfill her duty of providing education mostly to the far learners coming largely from rural background minorities. The school is situated in border area, the Indo-Bhutan International Border being barely 15 kilometers away aerially from the school. Mostly hailing from agrarian families. The students come to this school with a lot of expectation but little idea about their future course of life. The school undertakes the responsibility to guide them to a bright future and thereby plays a messianic role in the socio-economic development of the whole area.
At present the school is an ideal learning seat in this blessed valley. Many excellent professionals care each aspirant with smile on their faces. They all serve with humility and dignity with a spirit of selfless service. They are the architects of this school. Their dedication remains active whole day long to train children in a range of curricular and co-curricular activities. They work to produce superb individuals with starling personality.
Now the school has been beautified with a modern laboratory, a voluminous library and a large auditorium and what not. Now the campus of OTEMS is a temple of learning, a child's second home, a place of love and care and law and inspiration.
At sunrise here day starts with full of buds. They travel from their kid hood to their joyful youth with dedication and sincerity. The hearts of our parents, well-wishers and neighbours leap up when they show their superiority in games and sports, songs and music, and science and technology. Their academic accomplishment glorifies OTEMS.
Sir Kamal Sarki, the administrator of OTEMS, who took the charge of the school in 2010, did not leave any stone untried. He wanted to give her recognition. He ran from east to west and north to south. One morning a team of learned persons from Central Board of Secondary Education visited her and examined too. They accepted her and gave her recognition. Now she is only non-aided affiliated CBSE school in this valley. Now she bears a crown of affiliation number 2430215
OTEMS has very deeply influenced the academic, cultural, social and moral fiber of the society of Kumargramduar. It adds to the ethos of the valley of Kumargramduar. It is largely due to the management, the teachers, students, Parent Teachers Association (PTA) and the people of this locality who have patronized the school to an unprecedented level.
May almighty Heavenly Father be with the school and the administration to accomplish his grand wishes for his people living far and near.
