TMREIS to use Wakf lands for its schools.
With non-availability of open spaces within the city, the Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TMREIS), which started 10 schools within the Greater Hyderabad limits, has decided to use the Wakf lands.
Hyderabad: With non-availability of open spaces within the city, the Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TMREIS), which started 10 schools within the Greater Hyderabad limits, has decided to use the Wakf lands.
The Telangana State Wakf Board would be preparing the list of possible spots in this endeavour, which could be leased out to the Society in the coming months.
A K Khan, Chairman and Vice-President of TMREIS has asked the Wakf Board officials to provide a list of locations that can match the criteria within the city limits.
This would provide a scope for establishing a school on par with global standards. After Wakf Board officials come out with the list and identify the possible spots, the officials of TMREIS will analyse whether the locations would be ideal and beneficial for the students.
“With shortage of government land within the GHMC limits, we have come up with the idea of utilising the available Wakf lands. These lands would be taken for lease from Wakf Board, as transfer is not possible under the law,” said a higher official of the Society.
According to officials of TMREIS, the Wakf Board officials were asked to prepare a list of lands which would be between 1 to 5 acres for each school.
The Society would be paying lease charges as per the market value of the property of Wakf. “We sought the list of lands which are not under any kind of litigation, as any legal problems would have adverse impact on functioning of any school,” added the official.
Last month, Deputy Chief Minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali also directed the District Collectors and RDOs (Revenue Divisional Officer) to identify suitable government vacant lands in rural and urban areas for taking up construction activity for establishment of Minority Residential Educational Institutions.
For this specific purpose, the requirement remains 5 to 10 acres in rural areas and 1 to 5 acres in urban areas.
It may be recalled that when the idea was mooted in 2015, there was no proposal for availing Wakf lands by the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
Currently, the TSREIS is spending Rs 1 lakh per student for the classes of V, VI and VII for 14,000 students from 70 schools across Telangana, half of which are girls.
The Delhi-based architecture company has been roped in for raising permanent structures in the government lands and leased out Wakf lands.
