Simplicity is the hallmark of greatness and Janab Syed Shah Muhammad Al Hussaini was an epitome of simplicity and modesty. The Khaja Education Society today stands as a testimony to the greatness of this individual who worked with a single minded dedication to uplift the backward minority of Gulbarga. He ranked among those who took pains to tackle the ills of the society that they see around them.

Janab Syed Shah Muhammad Al Hussaini decided to redress the evil of backwardness by establishing educational institutions in a region where none existed before. With a judicious far-sightedness he began by establishing a girls school first in 1958 from where he never looked back. A host of schools and colleges followed with the distinctive factor that they provided education at the minimum basic cost. Janab Syed Shah Muhammad Al Hussaini founded the society with a selfless motive and till today it continues to be a service oriented organisation, true to the vision of the founder President.

From its simple begining in 1958, the Khaja Education Society today has more than 15 institutions running under its umbrella. Each institution began with care and affection and in response to the needs of the people of this region. Soft spoken and of a mild demeanour, Janab Syed Shah Muhammad Al Hussaini will stand always as an ideal for the young generation as to how selfless aspirations lead one on to the path of success and greatness.

Versatility and dynamism distinguish the successor of the visionary founder of the Khaja Education society. Janab Dr. Syed Shah Khusro Hussaini ably succeeded his illustrious father Janab Syed Shah Muhammad Hussaini on 3rd April, 2007, an occasion that was marked with solemnity and grandeur. Backed with an impressive academic background Dr. Hussaini is an idealist with a keen eye for practical details.

It is his determination that has been the driving force in the setting up of the Khaja Bandanawaz Institute of Medical Sciences. He left no stone unturned in fulfilling the vision of his father Janab Syed Shah Muhammad Hussaini who was keen to see a Medical College established under the aegis of the Khaja Education Society. Dr. Khusro Hussaini is an erudite scholar and Sufi with a passion for modern technology. This amazing blend of sensibilities has provided the Khaja Education Society with remarkable opportunities for progress, from introducing modern subjects in the syllabi to the latest amenities in the infrastructure.

An untiring worker himself, Dr. Khusro Hussaini possesses the ability to inspire others to exceed their capabilities as well. He has dedicated himself for the development and betterment of this service-oriented society so that the coming generations will glean the maximum benefits in terms of educational opportunities. We have in our present President a modern visionary who holds in his eyes dreams of the future while holding on firmly to the traditions of the past.

After India gained independence, the Muslim community did not join the mainstream. Either it did not have a common voice of its own or was never given a platform to air its views. The reasons that can be safely attributed for this situation include indifference of the community's leadership, lack of intellectual interest, educational unresponsiveness and economic backwardness.

Against the then prevailing scenario, the think-tank of the community realised the need for an educational society that could foster better use of education. Towards this end, the Khaja Education Society was established in 1958 under the aegis of Khaja Bandanawaz Trust and thereafter registered in 1966
