President's Message
Ibrahim Hasan Murad
President
Board of Governors UMT and ILM Trust,
It is greatly humbling to be addressing this outstanding board of esteemed individuals as the President, Board of Governors UMT and ILM Trust. It has been a year of some great achievements, but also a year of great tragedy, as I lost my father and the soul behind this group of institutions. He taught me innumerable invaluable lessons, but none more so than being grateful to those who believe in your dream and help you make it a reality.
We have always been able to garner immense support for our cause through our esteemed sponsors and it remains a testament of the faith our supporters have in us and our mission.
However, it is imperative to regenerate the notion of continued sponsorship for the education sector of the country and our organization. With the new Pakistani government prioritizing the delivery of education to the masses, numerous players in non-academic sectors have begun foraying into the education sector. This does indeed give a major boost to efforts aimed at resolving the education crisis faced by Pakistan.
I believe that the competition would prove healthy, as it would challenge us to be more innovative with both our practice and projects, as well as with the means to keep them going. I also believe in forging alliances and initiating collaborations with organizations to achieve the true goal of the betterment of the nation. I have already proposed the prospects to my organization and ask the same of our respected sponsors; to incorporate values such as enhanced charity and support to ideas that strengthen us as a nation and help improve the educational development of Pakistan.
I greatly appreciate the support from our sponsors and the members who have gone to great lengths to keep the flow of educational aid consistent, and constant. Sponsorships are critical to sustaining the ever-increasing costs of providing quality education and allowing the society to maintain its high standards. I would like to recognize the efforts of our members in providing valuable leads and guidance that help us maximize the value proposition for our sponsors, and I hope they are able to further build upon the already impressive network of sponsors in the years ahead.
I would also like to make a general appeal to all stakeholders in academic and non-academic sectors in both public and private spheres to take responsibility of helping the nation overcome its educational deficit and assist the University of Management and Technology and ILM Trust in this noble endeavor.
I urge potential investors to participate in my mission to continue the legacy of this institution, where we take pride in being sponsors and bearers of the beacon of knowledge and strive each day to share it with others. I consider this an integral part of my faith, as well as my duty as a citizen of Pakistan to assist the government in its efforts to reform the country’s educational infrastructure.
I hope everyone present considers and lends support to my thoughts and becomes a sponsor of the noble mission that existing sponsors and I are on. I hope we live to see an ideal, educated Pakistan.
