Welcome to
Raza Educational And Social Welfare Society

Benazeer Baig, the Gentle Revolutionary of Bismillah Nagar, Bangalore, is the Founder Secretary of Raza Educational and Social Welfare Society. Her inspiring journey began in 1994.Bismillah nagar was a scrap center where all sorts of metallic scrap was broken down and traded. The colony, largely Muslim, was also home to many small factories and garages with inhuman working conditions. What moved her was the sight of young boys working in these factories. Not only were these children deprived of any opportunities to study, the hazardous work environment inflicted terrible damage to their health. Benazeer took upon herself the challenges of eradicating this callous exploitation of children. Thus was born Raza.

I am Abdul Nasir, A student Christ Junior college. I studied in excellent English school Bangalore. I completed my SSLC in the year of 2019-2020 and passed with the percentage of 90.52 % I joined Excellent English School in the year 2013 in 3rd standard. I got a great support from all the teacher of excellent English school. As part of extra-curricular activities we were taught arts and football, and we learned many skills such as communication, leadership etc. During the lockdown it was challenging to get admission in Christ Junior college but with the help of teachers from the school, I got admission in the college. Now I am studying PCMB in the Christ College and after completion of pre-university course, I shall opt for medical field in future.
Thank you!

My name is K F Azmath Ulla. I completed my SSLC from excellent English school securing a well-deserved 93.6%. I then got admission in my dream PU College, Christ junior college. I enjoyed the two years of my college life at Christ. During my second year PU I took part in many extra-curricular activities and won prizes. During my first year, I faced lots of difficulties adjusting to the new environment. My classmates were so good in studies and were talking about getting into J I T and all and I had no idea about any of those things. The competition, I felt, was at different levels. I was unsure about what I was going do and how I would fit in, and I found my own simple solution. I made up my mind not to compete with others instead, I should focus on what I was good at. The trick worked and here I am leading a life of my choosing. I was really good at circuit building from the beginning of my time at C J C. I got a lot of praise for the same. And that is the reason, I wanted to pursue my goal/dream to become an Electronics and communication Engineer. Currently I am doing ECE from A M C College of Engineering, Bannergatta road. Things are pretty good all though last semester was not so good due to the Pandemic. During the lockdown I read many motivational books and also started courses to enhance my skills in various subjects including artificial intelligence and python programming language. I conclude by thanking my teachers at Excellent English School without whom I would not have been able to achieve what I set out to.
