His words resonated, inspiring me to create something
lasting.
As a young boy, I harbored a desire to contribute something
enduring to the world — something that would stand
invincible across multiple generations.
In pursuit of this aspiration, I embarked on a journey of
exploration.
I observed, visited various places, and, finally, inspiration struck while touring the
prestigious universities of India.
I began my journey by visiting
BHU, then moved on to
AMU, explored
Jamia,
Delhi University, and the newly established
JNU at that time.
It struck me that even though the founders had passed away and generations had changed, the
spirit of those institutions and their
legacies lived on.
This endurance was carried forward by their
alumni, not just across the country but throughout the world.
I felt like I had found my
answers, my
dream, and my
ambition.
And so, the
Millia Educational Trust was born in
1983, laying the foundation for all the educational institutions established under the Trust to date.
I got married to my beloved partner,
Shabana Perween, in the same year.
Responsibilities of
family, my
clinic, and a newly founded
trust added to the challenges.
Everything became manageable because of this remarkable woman.
My
hard work, her
patience, and the stroke of
good luck she brought with her made things easier.
She stood beside me like a
protective wall.
Though there were challenges, none were strong enough to deter me from reaching my
destiny.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to the
Almighty and the people of
Purnea and all the
stakeholders in the process of my journey for placing their
trust in me.
It is their support and love that have transformed
Millia Educational Trust into a family of
22+ institutions, including various
schools and
colleges.
Importantly, we are not stopping here.
Soon, we will be establishing
Millia University and
Millia Institute of Medical Science in the coming years, aiming to provide the finest
educational and
healthcare facilities to this region.
The journey has been
challenging but equally
adventurous.
It's crucial to remember that your
confidence,
character,
risk-taking abilities, and ability to take
decisions in crunch situations — and make them
right when it matters the most — will define who you are in your life.
You are bound to make
mistakes in the process, but
correcting errors and
learning from them is an integral part of
growth.
With your continued support, I am confident that our
future endeavors will be as
successful as our
past achievements.
Here's to a journey of
growth,
resilience, and making a
positive impact on the lives of others.
