Nasr School

The Nasr Education Society manages the Nasr Group of Institutions and is headed by Begum Anees Khan as the chairperson and Nawab Mir Khutubuddin Khan as the Secretary.

The Nasr Education Society runs Nasr Schools in four locations in Hyderabad. There is Nasr Pre-Primary School at Somajiguda and Gachibowli, Nasr School for Girls at Khairtabad and Nasr School for Boys at Gachibowli. The Society also runs a school for underprivileged girls in Somajiguda and charges no fee for their education. They provide free books, uniforms, and food to these girls and aim to uplift the living standards of these girls by educating them.[2]

The school organizes many competitions and activities. Nasr is home to a number of clubs, which are popular among students such as The Nasr Dramatic Society (NDS), The Nature Club, The Literary Club, The Red Cross, The Interact Club and the Nasr Riding Club.[3][4][5][6] The school students are also encouraged to take part in social activities.[7] Additionally, an annual magazine, "Echo", is brought out by the staff and students. The editorial board includes a Student Editor, Staff Editors, Creative Editors, Main Reporters, etc.

A concept in Nasr is the democratic way of electing the student leaders known as the Office Bearers headed by the School Captain. After a rigorous process of nominations on the basis of Academics and Overall Participation, Elections are held in which the students vote and elect their representatives. The Office Bearers are responsible of leading the school and helping the management in organizing various events. There is a School Captain, Vice Captain, Sports Captain and the various House Captains and prefects. Each Club has its own set of Office Bearers. Both the Girls' and Boys' School Office Bearers meet regularly to discuss and formulate plans for maintaining discipline among the students, and to organise various educational and extra-curricular activities.

Regular excursions are also embarked upon. They may be in the form of House excursions or Class excursions. There is usually an educative element to these trips. The students are also taken to tourist locations in different cities and towns.

Intra- and inter-school contests are held in order to encourage students to participate in extra-curricular activities and showcase their various talents. These may be in the varied fields of literature, public speaking, sports, music, art, etc. Many sports activities are available such as: Volleyball, Basketball, Marching, Karate, etc. The director of physical education is Bandela Prakash Rao known around the school as Bishop Sir.
