The school was established in 1982 with 250 students and 15 teachers in a few portable cabins and inaugurated by the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. In 2006, it was divided into two separate buildings, with separate campuses for girls and boys, at a total 9.8 acres.
In 2022, the school has 14,160 students, over 650 teachers, 30 administrative staff, and 67 janitorial staff on hire from a local contractor.
