The initial years witnessed the establishment of an Army School in the vicinity of Chaunni Barracks in Katmandu in 1952 AD. A Cadet Training Wing was incorporated within the organizational structure of the School that would be solely responsible for the conduct of basic training to officer cadets. Over a span of three and a half decades, the Army School was reassigned to a number of locations: Suping, Nagarkot, Kharipati in the fulfillment of its tasks towards the end of which, it was felt that a separate organization with a distinct identity was necessary that would serve as a center of excellence for the training of officer cadets alone. Hence, in order to meet this contextual challenge, the Army School located in Kharipati at the time, was repositioned to Nagarkot that would exclusively serve in the capacity of a purely infantry school. The permanent transfer of the Army School to Nagarkot paved the way for the historical founding of the Nepalese Military Academy (NMA) in Kharipati on 26 Dec 1986.
