Administrative History: The Dadar School for the Blind, originally called the American Mission School for the Blind, was opened in October 1900 by missionary Anna Millard in Byculla, Bombay (now Mumbai), India, under the management of the American Marathi Mission. The school accepted both boys and girls, but it would later become an all-girls school. In 1920, the school moved to a newly-erected building in Dadar. From April 1, 1939 until the end of March 1942, the school was under the management of the Society for the Protection of Children in Western India, then it reverted back to the American Marathi Mission. Circa 1948, the Blind Relief Association took over management of the school. In 1986, the name of the school changed to Srimati Kamla Mehta Dadar School for the Blind.
