Initially, the students of Shree Bhimsen Adarsha Secondary School at Burunchuli of Devichaur VDC in Lalitpur used to study in an environment that was like an ancient gurukul. Some educated youths had initiated the school and the classes, with 35 students, were conducted under a Simal tree. That was back in 2042 BS (1985 AD). After 6 years, classes up to Grade 5 were conducted. In 2064 BS (2007 AD), it was upgraded as secondary school. Currently, 320 students are enrolled from ECD to Cass 10, and 6 SLC batch students have completed their schooling from there so far. A student even scored distinction in 2011 AD.
