Bengaluru: Serious allegations have emerged against SAMAR International Islamic School, located in Hegganahalli, Bengaluru, and reportedly administered by Jamia Mohammadiya Education Society, Mumbai. The institution is accused of multiple legal and administrative violations, prompting demands for the immediate cancellation of its license in the interest of student welfare and public accountability.
According to Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (Shivaram Gowda faction), Chamarajpet Unit President Mr. Chang Pasha, the school has failed to respond to multiple notices issued by the Education Department, which had sought clarifications and documents regarding its operations. Despite repeated directives, the school has not provided the required information, indicating a disregard for statutory compliance.
Further, information obtained through the Right to Information (RTI) Act reveals that the school is not registered with the Maharashtra State Education Department. Allegedly, the institution has operated under three different management names – “Jamia Mohammadiya Education Society, Mumbai”, “Jamia Mohammadiya Mansoor”, and “Jamia Mohammadiya Education Trust” – raising concerns about the legitimacy and transparency of its administration.
It has also come to light that the school received a government grant of Rs. 10 lakh under the Karnataka Minority Welfare Department’s scheme for quality education in Madrasas for the year 2017–18. However, the institution was officially registered as a non-grant-in-aid school, which amounts to misrepresentation and financial fraud.
Moreover, reports have been filed at the Kothanur Police Station alleging incidents of physical abuse and mistreatment of children within the school premises. Community leaders have highlighted that the school is involved in land encroachments, exploitation, and other illegal activities.
In light of these serious violations, social activists including Mr. Chand Pasha, Mr. Abdul Hameed Pasha, and Dalit leader Mr. M. Krishnappa have urged the state government to immediately revoke the school’s license to safeguard students and prevent further misuse of public funds.
