The Executive Council (168/5, 2025) of the Independent Church of India directed the Education Department to establish a new school at Dapchhuah in Mamit District, Mizoram. Prior to the establishment, the Education Department visited the area, studied the educational situation, and made the necessary arrangements, including securing a suitable site for the school.
Following the acquisition of land, work began immediately to prepare the school site. The initial phase involved levelling the ground and constructing a retaining wall, followed by further site development to ensure a proper foundation for the buildings.
By January 2026, construction of the school buildings had commenced. During this time, the Education Department also took steps to appoint qualified teachers for the new institution. By mid-February 2026, the construction of the school building was completed.
The school was formally inaugurated on February 25, 2026 by Rev. Dr. James R. Ruolngul, Secretary of the Education Department, in the presence of the Executive Secretary of ICI, the Secretary for Ministries, and other church leaders. Community leaders from Dapchhuah, including representatives of Young Mizo Association (YMA), Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP), Mizo Upa Pawl (MUP), members of the Village Council, and parents also attended the inauguration ceremony.
