History

edit
 
Shari Darbar Hindi Lower Primary School Meethari Marwar, 1929

GSSS was established in 1929. The school, the oldest Shree Darbar Lower Primary Hindi School, was started as a Pathshala in 1929 by the Maharaja of Jodhpur for the education of the poor pupils of the village. Raised to a middle school in 1951 after Indian independence, the school became a pioneer by extending the benefits of education to the people of almost 30 nearby villages and outlying areas. It developed into a high school in 1966 and a senior secondary school in 1995. The school was named as a government senior secondary school.[2]
