Nawab Shah Alam Khan, Chairman, Anwar-ul-Uloom Educational Association is widely respected as one of the leading lights of education in general, and minority education in particular, in the country. A former Chairman of A.P. State Financial Corporation, Member of the Board of Management and Academic Senate of Osmania University and the Academic Council of Aligarh Muslim University, Nawab Shah Alam Khan has been the guiding spirit behind Anwar-ul-Uloom’s growth and success. At the time that he took over the reins of the Anwar-ul-Uloom Educational Association more than three decades ago, the institutions under its aegis were in a state of neglect and stagnation.
He immediately got down to the task of creating an academic ambiance that the college lacked. This was followed up by a series of administrative and academic reforms that connected the academia with the world outside and made education significant and relevant. The introduction of Post-Graduate courses including M.B.A. in the late eighties is a measure of Nawab Shah Alam Kha’s exemplary vision and foresight.
Under Nawab Shah Alam Khan’s guidance and leadership, The Anwar-ul-Uloom Educational Association has over the years, grown and ramified like a giant tree under whose tranquil shade many an institution thrives today. Of enormous significance in the Association’s history is the establishment of Anwar-ul-Uloom College of Engineering and Technology at Vikarabad, as also the setting up of Aizza College of Engineering & Technology at Mancherial, Nawab Shah Alam Khan College of Engineering & Technology, (under the aegis of Madrasa-i-Aizza). These institutions bear testimony to Nawab Shah Alam Khan’s vision of empowering students from the minority community with a sound technical education, which would, in turn, pave the way for a bright career and a prosperous future.
Nawab Shah Alam Khan envisions a future for Anwar-ul-Uloom where it stands on par with world leaders in the field of education. His dream for Anwar-ul-Uloom encompasses an umbrella organization whose institutions set benchmarks in education and scale new academic peaks.
