On 1st August 1920 Lokmanya Tilak died and Parlekars thought of building a memorial by his name. On 14th January 1921 girls' primary education was started. In 1921 Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association came into existence.
Originally the idea was a Gujarathi and Marathi medium school but only the Marathi medium school was started. V.B. Paranjpe donated his land for school and M.B. Pingle became first Principal.
Parle Tilak Association started the Parle Tilak Vidyalaya English Medium School in the same building on 1982. Later a separate building was alloted for English medium.
