Hyderabad: The Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TMREIS) Employees Association on Monday said that attempts were being made to malign the Society’s reputation through ‘baseless propaganda’ aimed at obstructing the educational and socio-economic progress of minority students. TMREIS Employees Association President Mohammed Mohsin, Vice President Dr. Reshma Hussain and Joint Secretary Jameel Ahmed alleged that certain vested interests were spreading misinformation to discredit TMREIS. “Some opportunists, threatened by the success of TMREIS and the empowerment of minority students, are indulging in such campaigns. Alongside its rebuttal, the Association highlighted the steady progress made by TMREIS students in professional education. The Association credited TMREIS Secretary, Dr. B. Shafiullah IFS, for establishing Centres of Excellence (CoEs) that provide intensive coaching, career counselling and government-backed support.
