Ashok Hall Girls’ Higher Secondary School is an all-girls exclusive school affiliated to CBSE. The journey of the school started from 1951 with a handful of pupils at Ballygunge. The school was housed in a spacious, airy building at 231, Lower Circular Road (Ref. Ashok, 1961). The school moved to a new building at 5A, Lansdowne Road sometime in the 1960s. There is reference in Ashok (presently Crosscurrents), 1961, to Parents’ Day Celebrations in the Lower Circular Road premise on 20th April, 1961. The shift took place after April, 1961. School programs were held at the New Empire Theatre during the 1950s to 1970s. After Kala Mandir Auditorium was opened to the public, it became the venue for the school programs.
