Hyderabad Students Selected By NASA

Four students, including two girls from Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TMREIS) have been selected for attending the NASA programme where they will be interacting with astronauts, including Buzz Aldrin, the second man to step on moon’s surface after Neil Armstrong. This will be the first time that students from government schools will be attending a NASA programme completely sponsored by the state government.

The outstanding performance of the students of Minority Residential Schools has proved that if given opportunity the BPLs can also reach heights… as said by a poet ‘zara nam ho to ye mitti bahut zarkhez hai saqi’. Mehveen’s economic or social backgrounds never deterred her from pursuing her dreams. With sheer determination and hard work, she has paved the way for her to participate in the prestigious International Space Development Conference.

According to TMREIS officials, Syed Ibrahim, 9th class (Hayathnagar school), Mehveen Mohammedi (Golconda), Safa Maheen (Ibrahimpatnam), Feroz Hassan (Gajwel) from 8th class, besides two probable students were selected, whose project was also approved by the National Space Society (NSS) in Los Angeles, USA. The students will fly to the USA on May 23 to attend the International Space Development Conference (ISDC) being organised from May 24 to 27.
