GOPALGANJ literally means  the cow kippers lived in the forest in one time known as " Saranya " on the bank of Gandak  . In spite of all these adversities , the people of this area are very enterprising by the grace of " Durga Bhawani" of hawe . Maa Durga came here from Kammakhya (Assam) Via Kolkatta (Kalighat) , Patna (Patan Devi) and Ami ( Ambika Bhawani ) on the call of " Rahsu Bhagat" - a true disciple of Maa Durga living in the kingdom of Bhanashen , the king Thawe. And , since then ,the goddess Durga is worshipped in Thawe,where Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya has been established in the Year 1994 , just 01 KM away from the Maa Durga temple depicted the splendid panorama of pious and glory of the Gopalganj District.

       Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya was temporarily established on temporary land in the campus of Teacher Training School by the then District Authority. It is situated about 80 mts. away from the Thawe National Highway.
