Agragati is a non-profit making society founded in 1978 and was registered in 1979 under West Bengal Societies Act of 1961 (Registration no. S/26356 dated 19.10.1979). From its modest beginning in a few villages at Amta, West Bengal it has extended its project area to Orissa and Jharkhand. Agragati aims at achieving sustainable development through empowerment and capacity building of the rural poor particularly, the SC, ST and woman.

Education is one of its major thrusts point since beginning. Swami Vivekananda perceived “Education is the Manifestation of Perfection already in man” and to Mahatma Gandhi education means “An all round development of child Body, Mind and Spirit”.

Agragati made its first footmark in the field of education by establishing the first English medium primary school in Amta area in the name & style of New Dawn K.G. Primary School in the year 1988 for imparting quality primary education to the rural children.

In managing the primary school Agragati felt the necessity of methodically trained teacher for the all-round development of body, mind and spirit of primary students.

Hence, an Organising Committee was formed in a Public Meeting and Agragati Primary Teachers' Training Institution was established in the year, 2004 with the recognition of the West Bengal Board of Primary Education.
