Addressing a felicitation program organized by Hyderabad Got Talent at FTAPCCI in Hyderabad, the 2003 batch IFS officer said “TMREIS schools have been providing an exemplary foundation for minorities students, and most students at these schools managed by the society are orphans”
Speaking about overcoming the challenges to achieve success in these schools, he said “the biggest challenge of residential schools was convincing parents to send their children to these schools”
The concept of residential schools was not popular among minorities in Telangana. Yet, in just 4 months after the governments approval, 71 schools were started. These schools were customised to the needs of minorities to the extent of including deeniyat and food preferences, to become successful.
He further added that “in 2016, the minorities welfare department struggled to get the students, but today TMREIS is coerced to conduct an entrance exam to due to high competition among students for enrollment.
