DKSC is a reputed Sunni Centre of the Muslim Community. It is a higher academic, social service organization in Dakshina Karnataka which remains as a noteworthy achievement brought up by the sacrifices and efforts of the working class in the sand dunes of Saudi Arabia. By the efforts of the institution it has established and organized diligent, self-less service, initiated with a good intention that has given prospects for thousands of children & a lively foundation for hundreds of families.
Indignantly following initiative, thousands of helping hands at heart and the blessings of the Almighty, what started off as a small project with 12 children and just one acre of land has evolved today as a guiding light to thousands of students
HISTORY:
Back in 1995, on the 13th of October, a group of like-minded individuals convened together with a motive of doing something beneficial to the Muslim community. Then emerged DKSC at the sacred birthplace of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) where they built a committee for the welfare of the poor & orphans at Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
In the beginning, under the leadership of religious leader Al – Haji Hasanul Faizi, DKSC has formed a task project. Back then, it was DKSC’s intention to give education to the poor and orphans, women, for their upliftment and on an aspiration to reach out to the underprivileged. Today, by its achievement, it has crossed two decades, serving with pride and creating representatives of the Muslim community.
As proclaimed in the Quran, selfless service will give fruitful result. In 1997, a generous donor contributed 60 cents of land by the national highway at Muloor for this initiative. More than hundres of dreams were fulfilled by this one act of kindness as a conservation centre was set up for orphans and homeless children. What began with a handful of children has grown today into a vast expanse due to the relentless efforts of the members of DKSC.
During this time, DKSC was led by Kumbol Atakoya Thangal, a prominent literary figure of South India and the leader of Ahl Sunnath wal Jamaath, who gave the association the mental fortitude needed to serve the community.
DKSC remains grateful to all its donors, spread across all over the Middle East, at crucial points, who have contributed significantly from their incomes collected. The organization also conducted and organized numerous events, get-togethers, Eid programs in the Middle East and spread their works which garnered a lot of support from well-wishers in not just India, but abroad too.
In the year 1997, visualizing a need for English advancement along with proficiency in Kannada, English as a medium of instruction was introduced in the academy by introducing a new branch named Al – Ihsan English Medium School.
Al Ihsan had a humble beginning with just 40 LKG students but expanded over time, and in2006, DKSC owned four acres of land, along with its own, Al – Ihsan educational institutions. Alhamdulillah, by the immense grace of the almighty, ranging from LKG to PUC for women, Al – Ihsan’s oculars oversee students of a number of classes, serving as a knowledge centre for the youth of our community.
In a time where a vast majority of the Muslim community is moving towards educating their daughters, there still is fear and anxiety in the hearts of many. Al-Ihsan as an institution is outstanding in this regard, for here we promise a sense of safety and security of our students, and the testimonials of parents speak to the assurance and quality we deliver.
In towns and cities, a lot of youngsters fall prey to modern lifestyles and are values are lost on them. To counter this, Al-Ihsan Residential School provides complete hope to parents as its watchful eyes span an expansive campus, instilling in students the fear of Almighty Allah and value-based education ranging across top courses in an invigorating environment which students of different districts avail.
For the past 3 years, Al-Ihsan has maintained high standards of SSLC results and stands as a model for the entire state. It also boasts of a best outgoing PU batch on the premise of moral values and obtaining Allah’s satisfaction. Thousands of students after completing their studies have engaged themselves in various fields ranging from entrepreneurship to religious services.
Allah enunciates that is man’s first priority in life to adapt the order and policy of the Almighty in their personality and an ideal civilization is only built on the Islamic life style. In order to become prominent in the society, like the prophets and his companions or other protectors of the faith, one has to have a strong Islamic foundation. In this world of science and technology, man has walked on the moon. In the same world of science and technology, a Muslim has to earn and achieve for his hereafter too. With this motto, DKSC is guiding, instructing and training scores of has developed to develop their personality to a higher level and the students follow a desirable daily routine from sunrise to sunset.

The Muslim community has been subjected to several problems due to the imbalance in importance given to religious and formal education. This could pose a severe problem and contribute to worsening of the Muslim scenario in the region. Acting with foresight, DKSC has already carried out its solutions under the name “Al-Ihsan educational institutions”
