History

In the 1950s railway officials and their wives settled in "Bara Bunglow", Thakurli. There were numerous impediments for them to overcome. The first that came to their attention was that the rural area, where they were housed, had no schools. The people who lived there hardly had the facilities to educate their children.

P.C. Bahree (wife of Dy. Chief of Electrical Engineer) and others took the responsibility of starting a school. It started as a nursery with 28 children and one teacher in 1956. Over the time, it gained impetus and started receiving support of many people and organisations.

It was recognised by the state government of Maharashtra in 1960.

As years passed, the strength of the students and size of the school grew. The school began its secondary-VIII in 1976-77. Three years later in 1978-79 the first batch of SSC students marched out the school in flying colours. By 1987 the construction of a three-storey building was completed which enabled them to accommodate more and more students.

The school is still managed by railway officials.

Administrative body

To regulate and monitor the smooth functioning of the school an administration body was formed and registered under the charity commissioner’s office, Thane. Since all the members (wives of railway officers and staff) were women, the body came to be known as "Mahila Samiti" (women's committee) and they gave the same name to "Mahila Samiti" School.
