Honorable Chief Minister of Telangana, Shri. K Chandrasekhar Rao has set up 204 minority residential schools (TMREIS) in 31 districts of Telangana for economically backward children. These schools are home away from home where traditional values and complete family atmosphere is maintained 24x7 by trained and responsible professionals. The objectives of the study were: a) To know the environmental acceptability, overall development and morbidity of students. b) To Inspect infrastructure, hygiene practices, quality and quantity of food being served to TMREIS students and c) To know the syllabus pattern and spread awareness on TMREIS. All 5 zones of Hyderabad (North, South, East, West and Central Zones) were covered as urban areas – 11 schools and 7 zones of Telangana state (Kaleshwaram -North east, Basara– North, Rajanna and Charminar – West, Bhadradri – East, Yadadri – South west, Jogulamba – South) were covered with the selected rural areas – 11 schools. Targeted class students were high school students from VIII to X class. Sample size of 600 students (300 – urban and 300 - rural) and 22 Warden/Principals (11 – Urban and 11 – Rural) were monitored and inspected individually in order to meet the purpose of the study. The study proves that the hygienic practices of TMREIS are well maintained due to which the percentage of morbid students are less. To make students more responsible, TMR schools have scheduled an activity termed as PATHSHALA PRAGETI, once in a week in which both students and teachers participates equally. According to the results obtained, there is not much difference between urban and rural TMR schools whether it might be health practices or hygiene practices, both the sectors are equally maintained. Regarding TMR students, both rural and urban students have equal enthusiasm towards studies, extra curricular activities, competitions, sports etc. Achievements of TMREIS students includes: visit to NASA, participation in robotic workshop, development of fuel free bike, selection in Navy, excellence in rifle shooting tournament, successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, South Africa and many more.
