Dada Raj Bahadur “Vikal” laid the foundation stone of Purushottam Adarsh Kanya Vidyalaya in the name of Rajarshi Purushottam Das Tandon in the year 1962 along with his wife Dharam Devi in a backward area like Jalalabad for the purpose of encouraging girl child education, this was the time. When people were not enthusiastic about girl’s education and did not like to send her to school, then grandfather ‘Vikal’ and his religious wife used to go door-to-door to take the girl child to school on her own responsibility and after completion of teaching work in the school used to leave them.
