Our vision is to attain progress  thru:

2.Women empowerment

3.Communal Harmony

Goal:

1.To establish  institutions of  learning in various parts of country at least upto primary level for imparting modern education at a very low cost in  areas inhabited by poor section of the society  which  remains deprived of this kind of expensive education. 

2.To establish vocational centers for imparting technical education to women.

3. Promote communal harmony thru seminars and meaningful get to-gathers on various auspicious occasions.

Present Activities:

I. Schools

Sir Syed Public School (SSPS):

We have established a primary school, named 'SIR SYED Public School' (registered and recognised) to impart modern education to poorest of poor  children of our society with a true national flavour.

We are running this school  since  July 2001 which is  located  in a locality inhabited mainly by poor Muslims and other financially weaker section of the society at Mitralok Colony, Ballupur Road, Dehradun, India. 

The students in the school  are being imparted modern education along with 'Deeni Taleem' (religious education). To develop scientific temper in growing children, an  arrangement of computer education has also been made from the session 2003-2004 for all students. The students mainly comprise of the children of poor daily-wage workers and maid-servants, for whom the kind of English education that the school is providing is beyond means.

The School has so far made considerable progress with the efforts of  more than  a dozen  teaching and non teaching staff members that include two Aalims.

We have raised the school from class Vth to class VIII  from the session 2005-06 so as to stop drop outs after class Vth and bring them to  VIII level.

The Results

The results of examinations depict that among these poor children many are highly talented and brilliant. Imagine, if these needy children of the society were left unattended, many of them might have gone un-noticed and their talent gone waste. The saying 'Gudri mein lal chhippey hain' seems true in this case. Majority of the children are extremely poor and are supported by the school with tuition-fee, school-dresses and text-books.

Future of Tomorrow

These children are the future of tomorrow and it is our duty to give them better future as we plan for our own children so that future generations can recognize themselves with the community that is educated and developed.

                  

Let us water these saplings to make them mighty banyan trees.

Sir Syed Adult Education and Training center  (SADAT): To raise the  socio-economic status of poor  women of  Muslim community and other weaker section of the society,  SADET is  imparting  training in  various vocational courses in trades like cutting and tailoring, Embroidery, Mehndi, fabric painting, Candle making, beautician course etc. The center is striving to    make   these women capable of earning inside their home.  Further, the center is also  extending helping hand  to extremely poor women by donating stitching machines. Thus  making their lives better.

III.  Help and Guidance to other Schools.

We  also   provide necessary guidance  and financial help  from time to time   to other Muslim schools  in the form of   books, dresses etc. for extremely  poor children and brilliants students of other schools. 

A computer was installed in one school by us to develop scientific temper among the children.

Woh log safeene ko, kya par lagaeyenge 

Duniya ko ulajhne do , haathon ki lakeeron mein

Tadbeer se hum apni , taqdeer banayenge.
