During my childhood walks with my father, late Md Atique Imam, he often spoke about things which are establsihed are meant to be destroyed normally within the span of three generations. His words resonated, inspired me to create something lasting. As a young boy, I harbored a desire to contribute something enduring to the world, something that would stand invincible across multiple generations. In pursuit of this aspiration, I embarked on a journey of exploration. I observed, visited various places, and, finally, an inspiration struck while touring the prestigious universities of India. I began my journey by visiting BHU, then moved on to AMU, explored Jamia, Delhi University, and the newly established JNU at that time. It struck me that even though the founders had passed away, and generations had changed, the spirit of those institutions and their legacies lived on. This endurance was carried forward by their alumni, not just across the country but throughout the world. I felt like I had found my answers, my dream, and my ambition. And so, the Millia Educational Trust was born in 1983, laying the foundation for all the educational institutions established under the Trust to date.

I got married to my beloved partner, Mrs Shabana Perween, in the same year. Responsibilities of family, my clinic, and a newly founded trust added to the challenges. Everything became manageable because of this remarkable woman. My hard work, her patience, and the stroke of good luck she brought with her made things easier. She stood beside me like a protective pillar. Though there were challenges, none were strong enough to deter me from reaching my heights. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Almighty and the people of Purnea and all the stakeholders in the process of my journey for placing their trust in me. It is their support and love that have transformed Millia Educational Trust into a family of 22+ institutions, including various schools and colleges. Importantly, we are not stopping here. Soon, we shall be establishing Millia University and Millia Institute of Medical Science in the coming years, aiming to provide the finest educational and healthcare facilities to the people of his region. The journey has been challenging but equally adventurous. It is crucial to remember that your confidence, character, risk-taking abilities, and ability to take decisions at crunch situations and make them right when it matters the most will define who you are in your life. You are bound to make mistakes in the process, but correcting errors and learning from them is an integral part of growth. With your continued support, I am confident that our future endeavors will be as successful as our past achievements. Here's to a journey of growth, resilience, and making a positive impact on the lives of others.
