Al-Hussain Education Society (Aurangabad)

The Al-Hussain Education Society is an organisation established to aid education of Minorities specially Muslims, in the state of Maharashtra. It was established by Syed Iltemas Hussain Jafri with a view to provide basic education to Minorities. Al Hussain Education Society is a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) working the field of education & literacy. IT Works towards the promotion of sustainable development.

Educating a Muslim boy or girl was something beyond the means of the poor Muslim parents and they felt that they had no right to acquire education because it was confined to the elite class only. Because of this stratum prevailing among the Muslims, the community remained in the dark cells of ignorance and deprivation. Added to this spectrum was the fact that Muslim girls and women were not even dare enough to come out of their shells for fear that they would face ridicule from the other communities who were better educated and living a better life. Poverty was the destiny of these poor Muslims and they had to remain content with whatever meager income they got from their avocations in trade and agriculture. Nobody was there to give leadership to organize them and campaign for their legitimate rights. This pathetic plight continued for decades…………. After independence, the situation started changing, though in a slow pace. Some visionaries in the community started acquiring higher education and in their minds dawned the idea of doing something worthwhile for improving this poignant status of their counterparts. A need for starting an organization to fight for their cause gradually gathered ground and there emerged the great organization called Al-Hussain Education Society under the leadership of the visionary Syed Iltemas Hussain Jafri in 1989 at Aurangabad .

Jafri Syed Hadi Hussain (Chief Functionary) of Al-Hussain Education Society was awarded with SHIKSHA RATAN in 2006. In 2012 Jafri Syed Hadi Hussain and Qureshi Ghulam Jilani were awarded with INDIRA GANDHI SADBHAVNA AWARD.
