Starting at a time, when educating women was unheard of Mahila Seva Samaja strove hard not only to teach but also helped women get training in professions like nursing, weaving, tailoring etc,   Some women, past their prime were educated in adult education classes of the school and later on employed in the school as teachers.  Reaching the under privileged and the needy was the aim of this intuition.  Donations are not collected from the parents and the school is run by a set of Dedicated women on an honorary basis for the welfare of the school.

Keeping with the trends in modern education, Mahila Seva Samja is trying to meet the needs of todays children by providing as any facilities as possible, while keeping with the earlier traditions as well.  The school strives to provide quality education for the all-round development of a child.

It is a matter of great pride for the school that Mahatma Gandhi visited the school twice, first in the year 1927 and later in the year 1934.  A large number of women were so moved and inspired by his words that they spontaneously donated their personal jewellery to help the cause of the freedom struggle.

Smt. Sarojini Naidu also visited the school twice and even delivered a lecture on women in 1934.  Other visitors include the Yuvarani of Mysore and members of the royal family, Smt. Indira Gandhi, Smt. Lakshmi Menon, Amt. Aruna Asaf Ali, Mrs Margaret Cosuins and Smt. Vijayalakshmi Pandit, then Governor of Maharashtra.

Over the years the institution has worked slowly, steadily and silently towards the welfare of women and children in different spheres, tackling social problems as they arise from time to time.
