The Sage, Sagely Says
The teaching staff of Aitchison College felt blessed to have a meeting with Syed Babar Ali, OBE. He is an iconic philanthropist, industrialist and educationalist who remained the caretaker Finance Minister of Pakistan. The visionary entrepreneur, who envisioned Packages Limited, Milkpak Limited, Nestlé Pakistan, and many other successful businesses. The most senior Member of the Board of Governors, Aitchison College, who led the foundation of (LUMS) Lahore University of Management Sciences and was the first Pro-Chancellor. He also instituted many educational institutions, including Syed Babar Ali School of Education and Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering named after him.
Syed Babar Ali Sahib shared his vision of life and education during the meeting. He also underscored the privilege with responsibility of being a teacher at Aitchison College. In addition to mere education, a teacher must focus on the character-building of his students. Teaching provides a lot of happiness to a teacher if he teaches with passion. Jealousy and backbiting are cankerworms, which are eating away the very nectar of our social set-up. We must teach our students to avoid such evils. His discourse had plenty to ponder over. Such pearls of wisdom are to be treasured forever.
