Shaik Mohammed Iqbal
Founder & Chairman · Ex-IG of Police (IPS) · Ex-MLC, Andhra Pradesh
Served the Indian state for over 35 years as a distinguished IPS officer, rising to Inspector General of Police, with senior postings across Andhra Pradesh overseeing law enforcement, public order, and community welfare. He later served as a Member of the Legislative Council. SSF was born from his conviction that government-school children deserve the same quality of education, skills, and opportunity as any private institution offers.
Shaik Hyder Ali
Managing Trustee & Secretary
Leads day-to-day operations, programme delivery, government partnerships, and donor relations. Working directly under the founder's vision, he oversees SSF's expansion across Andhra Pradesh and its work across 23+ districts and 400+ government schools.
Oversight, not overhead
A Board of Trustees with fiduciary responsibility
SSF operates under a Board of Trustees that provides strategic oversight and fiduciary responsibility. The organisation maintains full transparency in its financial management — 95% of all public donations reach students directly, with zero administrative overhead on public contributions. 80G receipts are issued within 24 hours, and SSF is fully compliant with Indian trust law, NITI Aayog registration, and CSR Schedule VII guidelines.
