The society operates 150 educational facilities across Kerala, which include 28 colleges, 12 secondary schools and 36 Central Board of Secondary Education schools and has over 100,000 students.[1] In 2019, the society banned face veils from its facilities, a decision that caused controversy.[2][3][4][5]
