Shri Shantadurga Shikshan Samiti established English School at Dhavali in 1972. Initially the school was run in the houses of well wishers from village late Shri. Haribhau P. Borkar, late Shri. Narayan Dhavalikar, Shri. Vaman G. Behare and Shri. Madhav Dhavalikar.  The Samiti's efforts to have own building for the school fruitfied when two philanthropists Shri. Durgadas V Dhavalikar and Shri. Atmaram V Dhavalikar donated a plot of land admeasuring 2,500 sq. meters and the new building was completed in 1975.

From this humble begining, the school was developed into an institution of high reputation and therefore more and more students are seeking admission here. Once again Shri. Durgadas Dhavalikar and Amarnath Dhavalikar extended their patronage by constructing an annexe consisting of two rooms to the school building during the silver jubilee year, 1996-97 and the school was named Smt. Indirabai Vishvambhar Bhat Dhavalikar Highschool.   

Setting high traditions of excellence our school has been marching forward in the academic sphere for last four decades.
