The Muslim Educational Society (MES) is an organisation established to aid education of Muslims in India, especially in the state of Kerala. Traditionally Muslims living in Kerala were traders and agrarians living in villages and were never allowed to enter into the main stream of the social fabric of Kerala because of their backwardness. Educating a Muslim boy or girl was something beyond the means of the poor Muslim parents and they felt that they had no right to acquire education because it was confined to the elite class only. Because of this attitude among the Muslims, the community remained in the dark cells of ignorance and deprivation. Poverty was the destiny of these poor Muslims and they had to remain content with whatever meager income they got from their work in trade and agriculture. After independence, the situation started changing, though in a slow pace. A need for starting an organization to fight for their cause gradually gathered ground and there emerged the organization called the Muslim Educational Society. The movement was started by a group of professionals, intellectuals, educationists and businessmen under the leadership of the visionary Dr PK Abdul Ghafoor in 1964 at Calicut. The society has been promoting a large number of educational projects and programs from primary schools to professional colleges. Its activities spread to almost every district in Kerala and a large number of MES educational institutions were started. Today the society runs more than 150 institutions including more than 50 schools, a number of postgraduate colleges, women's colleges, professional institutions like engineering colleges, medical college, nursing college and dental college. In addition to the institutions in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, MES has established institutions in the West Asian countries like Saudi-Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Muscat. MES celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2014. The primary work of the Society is to establish colleges, schools, technical and commercial institutes, kindergartens, vocational training centre’s, medical colleges, dental Colleges, paramedical institutes, adult education centre’s, tailoring schools, food craft institutes, computer institutes, community development centre’s, human resources development institutes, and counseling centres It is also envisaged to set up establishments to promote moral and spiritual values among the public, work for the welfare of women and children and establish and maintain old age homes and rehabilitate destitutes. ==List of colleges== The Muslim Educational Society runs several colleges in Kerala. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muslim Educational Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
