Hyderabad: The managing committee of Muslim Educational Social & Cultural Organisation (MESCO) today announced that Nawab Ahmed Alam Khan will be leading MESCO as its new chief.
Dr. Muhammad Iftikharuddin, Secretary of MESCO made the announcement at a press conference at the MESCO head office at Darulshifa.
His appointment follows a long-standing tradition of electing a senior doctor to lead the organisation in accordance with its constitution and rules.
Alam Khan expressed his gratitude to Almighty and thanked the members and officials for placing their trust in him. He assured that he would strive to fulfil his duties with utmost sincerity and dedication.
Dr Iftikharuddin shared details of the developments over the past three years. He discussed the legal struggles and efforts by certain irresponsible individuals who tried to take control of the committee through unlawful means. Despite facing these challenges, the committee resolved to pursue the matter legally, abiding by the court’s decision.
Dr. M.A. Mateen, Vice President of the committee emphasised the importance of collective efforts in advancing the goals of the organisation. He urged all members to contribute to MESCO’s growth and development with renewed zeal and enthusiasm.
MESCO said with this new leadership, it is set to continue its journey of growth, strengthening its foundation, and achieving new milestones.
MESCO was recently hit by internal conflict. Two groups within the management have been waging legal battle for its control.
MESCO was established in 1982 by a group of young doctors, under the guidance and patronage of eminent senior doctors, gathered to form an educational, social and cultural organisation for Muslims.
It is dedicated to empowering Muslim communities through education, healthcare, and cultural enrichment, fostering self-reliance in every student.
MESCO runs schools and colleges, organises camps and lectures on health awareness, and conducts coaching classes for school students.
Recently there were allegations of fraud and regulatory breaches by the educational institutes run by MESCO. Police were probing allegations of employing non-existent faculty, irregularities in campus infrastructure, and fraudulent issuance of certificates.
Some individuals listed as full-time faculty members at MESCO’s Degree, MBA, MCA, junior, and pharmacy colleges, were found to have questionable credentials and minimal involvement in academic activities.
