It was a collective effort of the Aligs. I have been in Macca for 50 to 55 years where I had chances to meet him. I was also in touch with him regarding fund raising for financial assistant program of the university to help those students who are not able to continue their education because of financial constraint. Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Vali Uddin said that to futuristic approach demands change, and people here are reluctant to change. University must be visionary as it guides students to make a brilliant future.
Member Executive Committee of Aligarh Muslim University Old Boys’ Association, Farrukh Nizami, son of Engr. Z. A. Nizami, said that my father wanted to make Sir Syed University greater than New York’s university. Decades earlier, he was planning to establish incubation centre. He made technical labs especially Linux so many years ago. We plan to publish a book containing his 40 interviews that have the solution of every problem. Once a peon asked him, to give 80 yards plot and my father gave 80-yard plots to every peon at the office.
