Hyderabad Relief and Rehabilitation Trust
Hyderabad Relief and Rehabilitation Trust was established in 1950, with a donation from Mir Osman Ali Khan, the last Nizam of Hyderabad for the rehabilitation of the Hyderabadis who had been displaced and were in trying circumstances. Over the years, the Trust has built several charitable and rehabilitation projects.

Hyderabad Trust Osmania Hospital is one of the most successful projects of the Trust which continues to offer services at low or no cost.
The Trust is indebted to the last Nizam (may God grant him Mercy) for his service to mankind through his financial contributions, management and sagacity that benefited tens of millions of people all over the world and particularly in the State of Hyderabad, India and Pakistan. Hyderabadis in particular are keenly aware of the massive contributions of this great man, even though he has not been recognized universally as he should have been.
We would like to enumerate briefly a short history of the magnanimous 7 nizams of Hyderabad and the State of Hyderabad as a monument to their memory.
History of Hyderabad
The state of Hyderabad came into being in 1724 after the fall of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. The rulers of Hyderabad were given the title of Nizam. There were 7 Nizams who ruled Hyderabad, from 1724 to 1948, when the state of Hyderabad was occupied by India.
