Hyderabad - A Legacy of Education
Hyderabad can boast of some good universities and research centres that

who share a vision related to engineering, management and sciences. Osmania University

ICRISAT - The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid
Tropics, a non-profit and apolitical international organisation for science based
agricultural development has its headquarters at Patancheru. Its focus is to help
developing countries apply science to increase crop productivity and food security and
improving agriculture in the semi-arid tropics.
Besides the above-mentioned there is a plethora of unaffiliated
engineering and management institutes to cater to the ever growing demand in these fields.
ICFAI is one independent institute which has carved a niche for itself and offers long and
short term programs.
There are other grim aspects, which Hyderabad is facing today -
unbridled construction activity, brazen encroachment, scarcity of water, traffic
indiscipline, and social disharmony leading to communal violence - all because of the
burgeoning population leading to urban decay.
In view of this, a voluntary and non-political organisation was formed
called the Society for Preservation of Environment and Quality of Life (SPEQL) with the
main objective of creating necessary awareness among the citizens to protect, preserve,
maintain and harness the natural environment in a sustainable manner. During the last
seven years of its existence, through a bimonthly magazine 'Hyderabad Bachao', they have
highlighted various vital issues such as shortage of water, traffic, transport and
suggested solutions trying to create an awareness among the citizen for a good quality of
life.
