Introduction
Founded by renowned social reformer Tulsi Meher Shrestha in 2010 BS (1953 AD), Gandhi Adarsha Secondary School is a prestigious community school located in Kageshwari Manohara Municipality, Ward No. 9, Kadaghari, Kathmandu. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s principles, Tulsi Meher envisioned the school to empower women through education, skill development, and social upliftment. Established on 56 ropanis of land provided by the government, the school initially aimed to provide education and vocational training for marginalized women. Over time, it expanded its reach and received approval for secondary-level education in 2018 BS (1961 AD). The school has been producing capable individuals for the nation since 2019 BS (1962 AD) and celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2060 BS (2004 AD). It remains a hallmark of excellence and dedication, contributing significantly to community development.

Spanning 11 ropanis, the school boasts a peaceful, student-friendly environment with modern infrastructure.
