Karachi, September 18, 2021 (PPI-OT):Sindh Madressatul Islam University celebrated its 137th Foundation Day on Wednesday (September 01) at its main campus. Advisor to Sindh Chief Minister on Law and Administrator Karachi Metropolitan Corporation Barrister Murtaza Wahab Siddiqui was the chief guest of the event.
Highlighting the importance of SMIU he said this institution has played a vital role in the movement of independence of Pakistan. He said that university’s structure was amazing. In the university’s premises, I.I. Chundrigar Road and Aiwan-i-Tijarat Road will be renovated very soon. “SMIU is providing education and producing leaders for 137 years,” added Mr Siddiqui.
SMIU’s Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Mujeebuddin Sahrai Memon said that Hassanally Effendi, the founder of SMI, transformed the youth with his vision of serving education. When Mr Effendi met Sir Syed Ahmad Khan he was told to think about the university instead of a school. Today that dream has come true and SMI became a university, he said.
He further said that this institute created so many leaders in almost every walk of life. He added that due to financial constraints we are moving slowly and the government must look into it. Secretary Universities and Boards Dr. Mansoor Abbas Rizvi also spoke on the occasion and highlighted the historical value of the SMI. University students presented tableaus and songs on the foundation day. The guests were presented shields by Prof. Memon.
