Hyderabad: The Siasat Daily in collaboration with MS Education Academy organised an award ceremony on Sunday to felicitate newly admitted MBBS students at Abid Ali Khan Centenary Hall, Siasat premises. As many as 500 boys and girls were presented medals and appreciation certificates for the remarkable feat.
The state of Telangana has seen a substantial increase in the number of Muslim students pursuing medical education, with 745 candidates successfully securing admissions to various medical colleges.
This boost in representation comes after three rounds of counseling for MBBS admissions and the establishment of new medical colleges, marking a positive development for the community.
During the award ceremony, Amer Ali Khan, News Editor, shared valuable advice with the aspiring medical professionals. He encouraged them to prioritize their commitment to the sacred profession of medicine and avoid turning it into a business venture.

He highlighted the need for Muslim students to excel in both central and foreign services to increase their influence positively. He illustrated his speech with various examples and extended congratulations to the students and their parents.
