The DME Society is registered under the A.P., Societies Registration Act 1350 F. This is a non profit, minority (protestant) educational institution. Though primarily it’s a Christian Institution all students are admitted irrespective of caste or creed. This institution is recognized by the Government of Telangana State. However it doesn’t receive any financial aid either from the Government or any other source. Hence it is completely self-financed & non autonomous.

Subsequently the society received approval from statutory authorities to start a College of Education, College of Pharmacy and Teacher Training Institute
