Mekhliganj is a border area subdivision town of Cooch Behar district of West Bengal. The first principal of the school was the late Ganesh Chandra Gop.

Today the Shishu Vidyapeeth  stands as a children's school. In 2001, Ramakrishna Ashrama, Mekhliganj  became a branch center of Belur Math and the name of the school was changed to Ramakrishna Math.
