Muslim Educational Institutions Federation (MEIF) is a confederation of various schools started as a community initiative by the Coastal Muslim Community. About 183 Schools from D.K District and Udupi District are the members of MEIF. In these schools, currently about 60,000 students are studying under the expert guidance of more than 6500 teachers imparting high quality education to students who are predominantly from the deprived strata of the society.

This initiative of the community to start educational institutes and subsequently to form a federation to collectively protect and further their interests was the brain child of Late Mr. B.A. Mohideen, former Karnataka Minister for Higher Education. MEIF also remembers the sincere service rendered by Late P.A. Khader Kukkady, Y. Mohammed Beary, Moidin Kutty Sab, B.S. Ummerabba, U.A. Kasim and others who by their selfless service had consolidated MEIF as a formidable federation. MEIF has been in the forefront in getting the legitimate rights of the minority institutions with regard to medium of Instruction and other education related issues.

MEIF constantly strives to ensure that these schools cater to the educational needs of not only Muslim children but also children from other educationally and economically backward communities, helping them to get modern quality English medium education at an affordable way. Hundreds and thousands of our children, especially girls who were once confined within the four walls of their houses are now stepping into the mainstream professional world.

Besides finding solutions to the problems faced by these schools, MEIF has also been conducting various programs on awareness on Education, Teachers Training workshops, Student motivational courses, inter school talent competitions and scholarship programs successfully. In the recent past there has been an enormous effort to consolidate and streamline all these programs as collective and time bound initiatives. The result has been spectacular. Each of these schools are now achieving near hundred percent results in board examinations, with majority of the students passing with distinction and first class grades. Not only are the children of MEIF schools benefitting from these collective initiatives, but the students of nearby Govt Schools are also included in some of the high intensity training programs, thus extending the benefits to as many deprived children as possible. Needless to say, this has been possible also because of the relentless effort of the management of these schools which are democratically elected community bodies and constantly guided by MEIF though its far reaching initiatives.

While on the one had MEIF through is member schools strives to impart quality education to these students and helps them to pass with high degree of success, on the other hand MEIF also has been helping these students to get free and concessional seats in some of the best higher education institutions run by the Muslim Community like Presidency University, Bangalore, Yenepoya Group of Institutions, Baraka International School and College and many other reputed institutions conducting paramedical courses.

The crowning glory of MEIF is the prestigious Karnataka Rajyotsava Award with which it was honored in the year 2023.

The current team of MEIF is headed by Mr. Moosabba P. Beary as its President with Mr. Umar Teekay, Chairman, Teekays Foundation Bangalore as the Hon. President & Mr. Syed Mohammed Beary, Chairman, Bearys Group of Institutions as Hon. Advisor.
