FEMI School Leaders Award Conference 2026 Highlights Collective Strength of Muslim Educational Institutions<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Bengaluru: <\/strong>The Federation of Minorities Educational Institutions (FEMI), Karnataka Chapter, successfully hosted the School Leaders Award Conference 2026<\/em> on January 17 at the Baris Soharda Bhavan, opposite the BDA Complex in Bengaluru. The conference brought together more than 150 management leaders and educationists from Muslim educational institutions across the city, underscoring the growing importance of collective leadership in the education sector.<\/p>\n

Delivering the keynote address, MLC and Political Advisor to the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Nasir Ahmed<\/strong>, said that private unaided schools, despite operating with limited resources, continue to deliver commendable academic outcomes. \u201cTheir performance reflects dedication, discipline and an unwavering commitment to education,\u201d he noted, adding that such institutions have carved out a significant space in Karnataka\u2019s educational landscape. Congratulating FEMI\u2019s office-bearers, he observed that collective unity among Muslim educational institutions translates into social and political strength<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Presiding over the conference, Syed Tanveer Ahmed<\/strong> stressed that institutional unity enhances visibility and influence. \u201cWhen Muslim educational institutions function as a strong collective, their voice is heard not only by political representatives but also by the government. Our teachers, students and graduates strengthen civic participation, giving us the leverage to raise issues effectively,\u201d he said. He urged institutions to rise above sectarian differences and focus on academic excellence, institutional growth, collective welfare and social responsibility.<\/p>\n

Recognising Excellence and Raising Key Demands<\/strong>
In his special address, Mohammed Asifuddin<\/strong>, General Secretary of FEMI Karnataka Chapter, said the primary objective of the conference was to recognise the contributions of Muslim educational institutions and motivate them through awards to pursue further growth and excellence. School leaders were felicitated with awards presented by the chief guest.<\/p>\n

The memorandum sought relaxation in renewal of school recognition, simplification of minority status certification, enhancement of the pre-matric scholarship budget to over \u20b91,000 crore in 2026\u201327, allocation of government land and infrastructure grants for Muslim schools, doubling of post-matric and overseas education budgets, and direct online applications from madrasas for modernisation schemes without intermediaries. Nasir Ahmed assured efforts to pursue these issues with the Chief Minister and concerned ministers.<\/p>\n
