Dr Frank F Islam, US based Entrepreneur, philanthropist, Civic leader and Alumni of AMU, inaugurated the newly built Frank and Debbie Islam Management Complex in the presence of many dignitaries, friends, teachers and students.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Islam, while thanking all those people associated with the construction of the complex, said, “From this Management Complex leaders will emerge who will make India and the world a better place. They will be leaders rather than managers, executives, business owners and entrepreneurs and these leaders will play a significant role in making society and the world a better place.”
The chief donor, Frank Islam, while sharing his feelings with Radiance after the inauguration programme, said that the motive behind investing in this Management Complex is to prepare the students at AMU to emerge as entrepreneurial leaders who will engage in economic development that will create jobs and opportunities for thousands of people in India and around the world. I hope my personal story will inspire them to become global entrepreneurial leader. On the question of future educational project, he said, “I would like to open a school in Azamgarh for girls.”
On the occasion, Frank also expressed his gratitude to Ameer Ahamed, Nadeem Tarin, Dr. Abdullah, Ali Rizvi Parvaiz Talib and Tauqeer Sherwani for their support during the project.
