== History ==
S.B.E.S. was founded in 1915 with the objective of providing quality education in the native Marathi Language in the erstwhile kingdom of Hyderabad under the ruler Nizam of Hyderabad where the administrative language enforced on the citizens was Urdu. The institution has been through many ups and downs during its life. Being the only educational institution providing education in the native Marathi Language resulted in over one year of delay in getting approval from the local administration.
