The Ghiasuddin Babu Khan Charitable Trust and the Foundation for Economic and Educational Development will inaugurate Hyderabad Institute of Excellence that aims to provide holistic education to under-privileged students on Sunday.
Osmania University vice-chancellor Prof S Satyanarayana will be the chief guest for the inauguration.
The institute built in a sprawling 100 acres at Vikarabad will offer integrated coaching from Class VII to XII in CBSE curriculum and will commence from academic year 2014-15, chairman Ghiasuddin Babu Khan said on Friday. ‘’About 50 per cent of students belonging to financially backward sections will receive full scholarship. All the students will be inducted after a careful selection process assessed by an entrance test and interview,” he added.
The students enrolled in the school will be trained holistically with equal focus on imbibing academic excellence, moral education and leadership qualities, Khaleel Ahmed, trustee of Foundation for Economic and Educational Development, said. ‘’Our focus is to bring in social justice through our initiative as this is purely a non-profit organisation. The quality of education will be on par with international standards. With these six years of grooming at the institute they will become better citizens of the country,” he pointed out.
The institute with residential facility is already operating with 115 students in Intermediate first year in the current academic year, said Babu Khan. “I want to emphasise that the institute is open to everyone, it is not just restricted to Muslim community.
Every student can avail the scholarships offered by the institute depending upon his/her performance in entrance test and interview,” he added.
Further, the school has ample scope for recreational activities and will practice high standards in terms of its curriculum, added Babu Khan. “As of now we have two cricket, football grounds and a basketball court. Air Commodore Naseem Akhtar, retired Indian Air Force officer, will serve as its director who will instil confidence and provide good values to the students,” he pointed out.
