The Establish and Vision: Our Journey Since 1972

Bassein Urdu Education Society, Vasai, was established in 1972 under the leadership of our Founder President, the late Ali Abdul Rehman Shaikh, who was dedicated to the cause of education. The society was officially registered in 1976 under Registration No. MAH/433/TH on 19/02/1976 in Thane and BPT/F/353/Thana on 25/05/1976.

Following the passing of our esteemed Founder President, Ali Abdul Rehman Shaikh, in 1979, Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh was elected as the President and has since been leading the organization with dedication and commitment.

As an educational trust, Bassein Urdu Education Society has been steadfast in its mission to provide quality education to students in Vasai and surrounding areas. Since its inception, the trust has undertaken several initiatives to support underprivileged students, including free education, distribution of books, uniforms, and bus passes, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder a child’s access to learning.

Guided by the principles of inclusivity and service, our society remains committed to empowering students from all backgrounds, irrespective of caste, creed, or religion. Our journey, which began in 1972, continues with the same passion and dedication to fostering education and literacy in the community.

Following this, he organized a felicitation ceremony in 1979 to honor the top-performing students of the Taluka’s SSC examination and presented them with trophies. Among the awardees was Pravin Kharwadkar, the Taluka’s first-rank topper and son of Dr. Kharwadkar. He was honored by Vasai Taluka’s Tehsildar, Mr. Dani Sahab, while Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh applauded with great enthusiasm.

M.L.A. Tarabai Vartak addressed the parents of Awami Urdu School students, congratulating the President and members of the Bassein Urdu Education Society for their efforts. The event was held at Sukudtrit Hall, Parnaka, Vasai Gaon, and the photographs were taken by President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh (Business Photography).

The farewell function for the first batch of SSC students from Awami Urdu High School was held in 1985. During the event, President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh delivered a well-wishing speech, alongside General Secretary Vali Mohammed Ansari, Principal Ansar Sir, Wasim Sir, Intezar Sir, and the students.

Later, President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh received a call letter from Dilipkumar regarding the purchase of land for the school building. The President then identified a 22-guntha plot in Hathi Mohalla, with the owner demanding ₹5 lakhs for the land. Upon meeting Dilipkumar once again, the President informed him that the land was conveniently located near the students’ residences. Dilipkumar responded positively and advised him to finalize the agreement with the owner as soon as possible.

To secure the purchase, a donation of ₹50,000 was collected from well-wishers in Vasai Gaon, and an agreement was made with the landowner. Subsequently, the President and some society members visited Dilipkumar’s house to present the agreement. He congratulated them all and, after further discussions, issued a letter appointing them as members to help raise funds for the land purchase and school construction. The society expressed deep gratitude for his generous support in advancing children’s education.

Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh with Saifubhai

Alhamdulillah! The foundation work for the school land’s boundary began in 1995, led by Society President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh along with other members.

Following an agreement between Bassein Urdu Education Society and the Nissa Hussain Nensey Charitable Trust, Respected Chairman Hussainbhai Nensey generously donated ₹10 lakhs in favor of the society. From this amount, ₹4.5 lakhs was paid to the school landowner, while ₹3 lakhs was used to vacate a stable (60-cow tabela) occupying the land.

After completing the legal process, the school land (Survey No. 1040) was officially registered in the society’s name in 1994. Additionally, Hussainbhai Nensey provided ₹5 lakhs for the construction of the school land’s boundary.

In 1996, the Thane Collector approved the Non-Agricultural (N.A.) status for the 22-guntha school land. Following this, the boundary construction work was successfully completed.

Afterward, President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh appointed Architect Mr. J.P. Mehta to design the G+3 school building and oversee the RCC construction work. By 2000, the architect prepared the building’s blueprints and compiled all relevant documents. These were then submitted, along with the application letter, to the CIDCO authority for approval.

In 1994, President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh was honored with the prestigious “GUNIJAN” Award for his remarkable efforts in promoting and implementing the Urdu language in the field of education. Under his leadership, the Bassein Urdu Education Society played a pivotal role in establishing and expanding Urdu-medium educational institutions, ensuring that students had access to quality education in their mother tongue.

His dedication to preserving and strengthening the Urdu language was evident through various initiatives, including the establishment of schools, organizing literary and cultural programs, and advocating for Urdu education in Vasai and surrounding areas. Recognizing his unwavering commitment and contributions, the award was bestowed upon him as a token of appreciation for his tireless work in uplifting Urdu education and culture.

In October 2000, CIDCO authorities granted a Commencement Certificate (C.C.) for the construction of the G+3 school building. Following this approval, the construction work officially began on January 26, 2001.

The foundation-laying ceremony was conducted by former MLA Ridhwanbahi Harries and President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh, along with General Secretary Vali Mohammed Ansari. Several distinguished guests attended the event, including Vasai Nagar Palika President Mr. Ajay Khokhani, Mannanbhai, Dr. Nasir Contractor, Iqbal Parekh, and Dustgir Shaikh.

In 2001, during the construction of the Huzaifa High School building, respected donor Hussainbhai Saifubhai Azizbhai and contractor Mr. Iqbal Parekh visited the site. Their visit provided encouragement and assurance that the school building construction would be completed as soon as possible.

Alhamdulillah! After the completion of the Huzaifa School building and the installation of all necessary educational infrastructure, respected donors Mr. & Mrs. Hussainbhai Nensey visited the school to see the progress. They were highly pleased with the development and, with great satisfaction, asked President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh if any further assistance was needed. The President humbly replied, “No, everything is now in place,” and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to them for their generous support in establishing this noble educational institution for the students of Vasai and its surrounding areas.

In 2006, a grand celebration was held at Huzaifa Urdu High School, Vasai Gaon, to mark the 100th anniversary of Zilla Parishad Urdu School, Vasai Gaon. The event witnessed the presence of thousands of students from various Urdu-medium schools across Vasai Taluka.

The Bassein Urdu Education Society organized a series of motivational programs, including an Urdu cultural event, a Mushayara (poetry session), and speeches by students highlighting the significance of the Urdu language. As part of the celebrations, prizes were distributed to outstanding students by MLA Vasai Loknate Hitenddraji Thakur, Nagar Sevak Haji Jamil Ahmed Shaikh, and other distinguished dignitaries.

In recognition of its remarkable contribution to the promotion of Urdu education, the Bassein Urdu Education Society was honored with a trophy, presented by Gosia Masjid Chairman and Nagar Sevak Haji Jamil Ahmed Shaikh. The event was attended by Society President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh, General Secretary Vali Mohammed Ansari, and Treasurer Rehmatullah Shaikh, along with other esteemed guests.

Alhamdulillah! Since 1972, the Bassein Urdu Education Society has been dedicated to providing quality education in Vasai Gaon. In 2008, the society achieved another significant milestone by establishing a Science and Commerce Junior College at the Huzaifa Campus.

The inauguration ceremony was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony, led by Society President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh, in the presence of General Secretary Vali Mohammed Ansari, Treasurer Rehmatullah Shaikh, society members, Principal Mehjabeen, and special guest Mr. Gafoor Sir, a lecturer from T.B. College. This new educational initiative further strengthened the society’s commitment to academic excellence and student development.

After the opening of the junior college in the 2008-09 academic year, the Science and Commerce streams began with an 11th-grade batch of 50 students. With natural progression, these students advanced to the 12th grade in the 2009-10 academic year. That same year, 110 new students enrolled in the 11th grade across both streams, marking a significant increase in admissions.

As the student strength continued to grow each year, it became evident that additional classrooms were urgently needed. Recognizing this need, President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh once again approached respected donor Hussainbhai Nensey and requested his support to extend the existing school building to accommodate the increasing number of junior college students.

Alhamdulillah! Hussainbhai Nensey responded with great generosity, reassuring him, “Don’t worry, Aijazbhai. I will donate the required amount to fulfill all your legal educational needs. Meet our architect and ask them to design the extension plan as per the planning authority’s regulations and get it approved as soon as possible.”

President Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh expressed his heartfelt gratitude for this tremendous financial support, which played a crucial role in expanding the institution and ensuring a better educational environment for future students.

In June 2022, we launched a special coaching program for NEET, JEE, and foundational science courses aimed at students from economically weaker sections of society. The initiative was driven by the observation that only a few students from such backgrounds succeed in competitive exams like NEET and JEE due to a lack of strong guidance in science and mathematics. Consequently, these students often fail to secure admission into prestigious institutions such as MBBS (Medical) colleges or IITs (Engineering) and struggle to qualify for science Olympiads.

To address this issue, our society set a goal to enhance the learning environment by providing specialized coaching for NEET, JEE, and foundational science courses completely free of cost. This initiative is designed to bridge the gap in educational opportunities and empower students from underprivileged backgrounds to achieve their academic aspirations.

Under the Acharya Chanakya Kaushalya Vikas Kendra and Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Yojana, Bassein Urdu Education Society’s Huzaifa Urdu School & College has received recognition from the Government of India, the Government of Maharashtra, and the Palghar District Collector. Alhamdulillah, our college is among the 1,000 institutions in Maharashtra to receive this prestigious recognition.

We have selected a 6-month Free Graphic Design Course, which typically costs ₹25,000 in private classes. The eligibility criterion for this course is passing the 12th grade. A total of 180 students from Vasai village, aged between 18 and 45 years, have registered for this program. The course will commence on 2nd October (Gandhi Jayanti).
