In the year 1956 a group of like minded and dedicated people joined together to bring all Odias living in Mumbai on a common platform and to promote and popularize the rich culture and heritage of Odisha. They sowed a seed by the name “Bombay Utkal Samiti”, which has now grown into a huge banyan tree providing an unique identity to the odiya people in Mumbai city.In the year 1984 Mumbai Utkal Samiti started an English medium school by the name "Mumbai Utkal English High School", to cater to the educational needs of the lower middle class people residing in the local communities of Kurla, Mumbai. The initiative was to provide the best possible English medium education within the affordable fees. The High School is recognized by the Dept. of Education, Govt. of Maharashtra and has been recognized as a “Minority Educational Institution”. There are about 600 students studying in the school. Moreover, we have a committed band of 16 teachers (2 teachers in the K.G. Section, 5 teachers in the Primary section and 9 teachers in the Secondary section and last but not the least 2 teachers in the Oriya Medium). We have 2 administrative staff and 2 support staff, who are committed and dedicated towards the institution. With all our teaching and non-teaching staff’s spirit of dedication and the guidance they offer to our students, have had much to do with its progress and attaining its desired objectives. There are several co-curricular and extracurricular activities carried out towards the overall development of the children from pre-primary to Higher Secondary.
