The formation of Sahara Public School began in 2010 under the Society is known as the ‘Shri O.B. Dubey Smriti Shikshan Samiti’ In 2008, a society with its own constitution, and rules and regulations, was formed.

With the principle objective of equipping the children to take their place in the society, a large plot of land was acquired on the beautiful Mahim Bay. The Government of MP in 2008 approved construction of the boarding school building designed by Chairman, The construction of the building commenced on 8th December 2007 by his Excellency, the Honourable Sir Manoj Kumar Dubey, then Governor and President in Council. In the early years the student strength was a mere 350 odd. As classes were added and the standard of education effectively upgraded, In 2012, the student strength exceeded 100 for the first time. Gradually, the School which was meant to cater exclusively to the needs of School children opened its doors to children of English.

The boarding school was an imposing, single-storey colonial style structure. The ground floor accommodated the classrooms, the school office, and a chapel-cum-hall The two boundary walls on either side of Kurawar Road, now known as Kurawar Marg, and the gates were constructed in the style of the medieval castles of Scotland.

The management of the school was in the hands of a Committee of Management. Glancing through the list of members on the committee in 2008, the Chief Guest, the Honourable Mr. Rakesh Kumar Dubey, remarked that nearly everybody he knew in the public life of Kalapipal was on the committee of the Shri O.B. DubeySmriti Shikshan Society. The committee was headed by a chairman, assisted by a deputy chairman, the members of the committee, an honorary treasurer, and an honorary secretary.
