YEARS OF Salar-E-Millat Educational Trust
Hailing from a politically influential family that has dedicated itself to the educational upliftment of socially and educationally backward communities since the 1950s, Habeeb-e-Millat Akbaruddin Owaisi has been working relentlessly to secure long-term educational and employment advantages for these sections of society.
In 1999, upon becoming the MLA of Chandrayangutta, a constituency with a long history of socio-economic challenges, He began leveraging his political influence, social standing, and personal resources to establish a chain of well-equipped, high-standard schools across the older parts of Hyderabad, where AIMIM has seven MLAs.
As the continuous representative of this prestigious constituency, the Floor Leader of AIMIM in the Telangana Legislative Assembly, and the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), his commitment to education has remained steadfast. His vision is clear: to empower children with quality education that enables them to excel in competitive examinations for civil services, IITs, IIMs, and other premier institutions.
Taking upon himself the challenging task of transforming the educational landscape of marginalized communities, he has built and managed a network of institutions offering bespoke facilities, zero fees, no donations, and free books and essential learning materials. His guiding belief is simple yet profound, educating communities leads to national development, social transformation, and economic upliftment.
He firmly holds that sustained educational advancement can pull long-neglected communities out of economic, social, and political stagnation. Today, his mission is showing tangible results, especially as the world becomes increasingly globalized and technology-driven, with educated youth at the forefront of progress.
As he leads this movement for change from the front, expect several more transformative projects and programs aimed at delivering meaningful and lasting impact. For, as he often reminds, a child without good education is like a bird without wings.
My Journey
The journey began in 1999, when I first contested the Legislative Assembly elections from the Chandrayangutta constituency. My commitment was clear; to bring top-quality education to our children’s doorsteps and ensure they carried their school bags with dignity and pride. The Holy Quran places immense emphasis on the pursuit of knowledge, and it is our collective responsibility as a community to provide our children with the finest education while nurturing them in the right direction.
Today, SEMET operates a remarkable network of 14 schools, educating more than 15,000 students. Beyond formal education, we have enabled skill development opportunities for over 100,000 women and organise over 50 community-focused activities every year.
In times of adversity, whether it was the coronavirus pandemic, the devastating floods in Hyderabad, or other crises, SEMET stepped far beyond its educational mandate, undertaking numerous welfare initiatives to support, protect, and uplift our people.
Our list of accomplishments and ongoing projects in the socio-economic and educational sectors is extensive and continually growing. We remain steadfast in our mission because we believe deeply in creating meaningful and enduring transformations in people’s lives, thereby contributing to the progress and prosperity of our beloved nation, India.
