The
first full-fledged Icfai Republic School (IRS) was started in
2004 to provide quality English medium education, free of
cost, to the children living in Fatehnagar, Hyderabad and
surrounding areas with a large concentration of very
low-income families. The IRS, Fatehnagar presently has nearly
1000 students from Nursery to Class X. Apart from free
education and nutritious food, these students get textbooks,
notebooks, shoes and socks, uniforms and all required
stationery at highly subsidized rates. The nominal amount that
is collected from them is given back in the form of gifts,
prizes and cash awards, thereby, making education practically
free for them.
A
free medical diagnosis clinic has been started in the IRS
premises at Fatehnagar from December 2005 for the benefit of
the poor and destitute in the locality. It functions 3 days a
week in the evenings manned by a qualified medical
practitioner.
The
second IRS was started in August 2005 for the children of the
labourers engaged in construction work at the Icfai Business
School campus site at Dontaanapalli, about 40 kms away from
Hyderabad. The school has nearly 120 children who have been
categorized into various levels according to their age and
ability to internalize what is taught. These children receive
education, uniforms, milk and fruits completely free of cost.

On
May 15, 2006, IRS started the 'IRS Knights - A Night School'.
IRS Knights is open especially for out of school children
like the ones who have discontinued their studies, those who
are over-aged and those who never went to school for various
reasons.

a week, the school had more than 50 students, ranging from 6
years to 20 years.
The
school follows Telugu Medium. The students have also physical
education classes two days a week. They are served milk and
dinner daily.
