It is believed that there was a small school founded by the missionaries for the Bengali boys on the south of Chandannagar where there is a convent now.
Bengali and French were freely taught there. The former Dupleix college was also established by the missionaries. Later Dupleix college was known as Dupleix school from 1901.
The school was renamed Kanailal Vidyamandir after the revolutionary of Kanailal Dutta who was a student of this school, on May 17, 1948 just before the liberation from the French rule. The Centenary ceremony of the school was inaugurated by Dr. Brajakanta Guha, the Vice-Chancellor of University of Burdwan on its first day. Today the school is one of the leading schools of chandannagar, with around about near 1500 pupils.
