Skill, Startup & Job Guidance Platform - Siasat Hub Established

Siasat Hub Foundation (S-Hub): Empowering Youth Through Skills and Opportunities

The Siasat Hub Foundation (S-Hub) was established as a permanent platform dedicated to empowering youth by addressing three core areas of growth — skill training, job guidance (local & overseas), and entrepreneurship/startup mentorship.

By integrating education, employment, and enterprise, S-Hub uplifts the youth, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds, and enables them to access meaningful opportunities for growth and self-reliance.

Through this initiative, Mr. Amer Ali Khan (News Editor, The Siasat Daily and MLC) envisions a future where every young individual has the platform, resources, and guidance required to transform potential into success.

Education for Every Stage

To ensure that no deserving student is deprived of education due to financial hardship, The Siasat Daily launched a scholarship assistance programme supporting students from KG to PG. This initiative has, over the years, enabled thousands of students to pursue their education across different levels and streams.

With the guidance and commitment of Mr. Amer Ali Khan (News Editor, The Siasat Daily and MLC), the programme has been significantly expanded, ensuring wider reach and greater impact. By providing financial assistance, the initiative addresses one of the major barriers to education — affordability — and continues to uplift students from economically weaker sections.

Through this noble endeavour, Amer Ali Khan reaffirms his vision of “Education for All”, ensuring that financial difficulties never stand in the way of a student’s dream.

Books Distribution & Academic Upliftment

The Siasat Daily, under the leadership of Mr. Amer Ali Khan (News Editor, The Siasat Daily and MLC), continued its long-standing initiative of distributing 20,000+ free educational books to students across Telangana.

This noble programme, started in 1992, has benefitted lakhs of students over the years, especially from underprivileged backgrounds. After Amer Ali Khan assumed office as MLC, the initiative was further expanded to reach students from diverse educational streams, with a special focus on Urdu-medium and government school students, where pass percentages often remain lower compared to private institutions.

Application & Welfare Support Cell -Public Help Center

The Application & Welfare Support Cell – Public Help Center was established as a dedicated initiative to bridge the gap between citizens and the services available to them. Designed on the lines of the MeeSeva model, the center acts as a one-stop solution where individuals can access guidance and support for a wide range of government schemes and private applications. Its objective is to simplify complex processes, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and ensure that people receive timely assistance without unnecessary delays.

Through this center, thousands of applications have been processed efficiently, covering diverse welfare schemes such as pensions, health benefits, scholarships, subsidies, and essential identity-related services. By offering end-to-end support – from documentation to submission and follow-up – the cell guarantees that no eligible citizen is left behind in availing their rightful entitlements. This has been especially impactful for marginalized communities and individuals with limited awareness or digital access.

Beyond its functional role, the Help Center has also created an environment of trust and accessibility. Citizens are empowered with information and confidence to engage with welfare programs, while the streamlined processes save time, effort, and costs. In essence, the Application & Welfare Support Cell not only improves service delivery but also strengthens social equity by ensuring inclusivity and transparency in access to welfare opportunities.

Quarterly Financial Assistance for Families in Need

The Quarterly Financial Assistance for Families in Need is a focused initiative aimed at uplifting the most vulnerable households in our community. Under this scheme, a monthly support of ₹10,000 is extended to 60 families, ensuring that they receive timely relief to meet essential needs. By adopting a rotational model every quarter, the program maximizes outreach and ensures that aid reaches a larger number of families in genuine distress.

This financial assistance has gone beyond monetary value, offering recipients a sense of stability and dignity. The support has helped families cover basic expenses such as food, healthcare, rent, and education, thereby protecting them from slipping further into cycles of poverty. The scheme also fosters resilience by allowing families to plan ahead and regain a measure of financial security during challenging times.

In addition to providing direct relief, the initiative strengthens the community fabric by demonstrating solidarity with those in need. By addressing urgent economic hardships, it creates an environment where vulnerable households can focus on long-term improvement rather than mere survival. This targeted intervention reflects both compassion and accountability, ensuring that resources are used effectively to generate meaningful impact.
