Nested at the outskirts of the city, Miles Bronson Residential School (MBRS) had a humble beginning in the year 1987 in Assam. From the rented buildings, with the progress of time, the founder and principal N.K. Dutta quite successfully managed to procure almost 26 acres of lush green land.
The School, 9th in the all India co-ed boarding schools category 2016 (EducationWorld C-fore) at the national level is one of the most sought after boarding schools in the North-East today. The clean, green and serene campus is now conferred with Confederation of Indian Chambers and Industries (CII) and Indian Green Building Council’s (IGBC) first re-certified green school in the country.
