The first school established by the society was in Marathi medium while the medium of instruction under Nizam's rule was Urdu. The Nutan Vidyalaya Education Society was constituted to whip up nationalistic feelings among the people under the regime of the Nizam of Hyderabad. The school had to encounter many difficulties and humiliations under the Nizam government. The Nizam government tried to dissuade the Nutan Vidyalaya Education Society to give up their venture. A lot of students and teachers were part of the freedom struggle, and Mahatma Gandhi had visited the society in March 1927.
