It was formed by joining Fulgama, Devdiha, old Nagrain, Lagmagadha Guthi and Ghodghans village development committees.[2] The total area of Nagarain municipality is 38.71 km2.[3]
Nagarain is facilitated by Shree Rajeshwor Nidhi Higher Secondary School, which is run by government. It attracts students from Nagarain as well as the neighbouring villages. Recently, the infrastructure of this school was upgraded and a new classroom block was constructed with the aid from Government of India.[4] Therefore, this building is named "Nepal-Bharat Maitri Bhawan". There are few private schools (run by individuals) which provide education in English medium.
