Prestigious History of Our School
Khwaja Reja Ahmed Rubel, a resident of Katnarpara area and owner of an offset printing press, had been preserving the artefact for the last 20 years. He said a Bogra based institution gave the copy to him to publish in a magazine, but he kept it to himself, However, he can no longer remember the name of the institution. Assistant Director of Department of Archaeology Bangladesh Nahid Sultana, who is also an expert on Tagore, confirmed that the script was written by the Nobel laureate. Acting principal of Dupchachia Model High School Md Abdul Wahed Fakir said the script was a four-line greeting from Tagore written on July 27, 1937. The legend had wished the school success. The two pages from Tagore's ancestral notepad contain a monogram on the right side and in the bottom, there is “6 Dwarakanath Tagore Lane, Kolkata,” written in English along with a telephone number. Former teacher of the school Nimai Sundar Chowdhury said in 1923, a team of tenth grade students of the school had gone to Patisar, Naogaon, to invite Tagore to a ceremony arranged in the school. The ceremony aimed to honour Tagore, however, when approached, the litterateur said he would not be able to attend because of time constraints. Instead, he wrote down four lines on the paper and signed it for the students, said Nimai, quoting late Mobarak Hossain, a student from the 1923 batch who was among the students to have gone to invite Tagore.
