A Timeline of change. A wall of dreams

Since 1951...

SIET is more than an institution — it’s a living canvas of innovation, ambition, and transformation. Founded with the belief that education is the foundation of progress. Established on 23rd October 1951, the Southern India Education Trust (S.I.E.T.) was founded by the Hon’ble Mr. Justice Basheer Ahmed Sayeed, M.A., B.L., in collaboration with seven eminent Muslims of Madras. The Trust was created with a focused vision to advance women’s education and empower the underprivileged sections of society.

The Trust focus on promoting comprehensive education, uplifting the backward Muslim community and fostering societal progress. Through the establishment of educational institutions, the dissemination of knowledge, and the protection of rights, the Trust aims to ensure the spiritual, cultural, and economic welfare of minorities while benefiting the nation as a whole.
